On naval drills with China and Russia: "No change has occurred... will be carried out as scheduled," he described the drills as recurring since 2019. On EU's IRGC designation: Iran has already summoned EU ambassadors and issued formal protests, reports say, while officials hint more steps are coming—"but this is a minimum measure." Baghaei said "reciprocal measures" will be decided "in the coming days." On enriched uranium: "The result will be achieved within the framework... of the negotiation." On France: Baghaei singled out France with harsh language, but he didn't provide evidence for claims about who drove the EU move.
