April 24, 2026 – EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas has said that threats from Iran could become “more dangerous” if nuclear experts are not included in ongoing peace negotiations.
Speaking at a meeting of EU leaders in Cyprus, she warned that there is a risk any new agreement could end up weaker than the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), reached during the Obama administration and later abandoned by the United States under Donald Trump.
Under the JCPOA, Iran agreed to limit its sensitive nuclear activities and allow international inspectors into the country in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions.
Kallas stressed that technical expertise is essential in negotiations involving nuclear issues, as decisions made without it could undermine long-term stability and verification mechanisms, according to BBC reporting.
