Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said on Sunday that the United States confronts Iran because it wants the country to be "obedient," a demand he called "offensive" and vowed the nation would resist.
Khamenei said the current situation with the United States was "unsolvable", and the Iranian nation will stand with all of its power against those who have the erroneous expectations that Iran should obey the U.S.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry issued a statement on Friday, saying that Iran plans to hold a new round of nuclear talks with the U.K., France and Germany on Tuesday.
Previously on 25 July, representatives from Iran and the U.K., France and Germany held talks in Istanbul, Türkiye, exchanging views on the implementation of the Iran nuclear deal and related sanctions.
Western countries recently have threatened Iran with the activation of a "snapback" sanctions mechanism, demanding that Iran continue to fulfill the Iran nuclear deal, including resuming full cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and restricting the scale of nuclear development in accordance with the Iran nuclear deal.
In response, the Iranian side stated that the threat from Western countries to activate the "snapback" sanctions mechanism lacks legal and political basis.
