TEHRAN, Iran — Dis one no be small matter oh! Iran don talk say dem no dey follow any restriction wey dey relate to dem nuclear programme as di landmark deal wey dey last for 10 years don finally expire. E happen on Saturday, October 18, 2025, and di Foreign Ministry of Iran e gather everybody wey wan listen as dem yan dem di new development.
Dem carry di talk comot say, “all di provisions wey dey inside di 2015 deal, including all di restrictions on our nuclear wahala, don terminate.” (As e be like say dem don tire for all dis wahala, who fit blame dem?) But wait, dem still remember say dem “dey committed to diplomacy.” Na wa, like dem wan use diplomacy finish dem wahala!
This deal wey people dey call Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), na as di world powers including China, Britain, France, Germany, Russia, United Kingdom, and United States come join hand wey dem don dey chop since 2015. E give Iran chance to get sanctions relief if dem fit limit dem nuclear activities. But just as e dey hot, Trump come waka enter office, and na him do di undoing by pulling America out of di agreement. Talk about drama, abeg!
Since den, Iran no chill; dem sharp-sharp don dey increase dem nuclear programme after di agreement don turn to something like paper wey wetin? Yeah, we no sabi! Now wey di deal don die finish, experts dey talk plenty things. Kelsey Davenport from di Arms Control Association don yan say di so-called “termination day” na just play because of di snapback sanctions wey don already dey in place.
Not be so far, di United Kingdom, Germany, and France don dey complain say Iran dey violate di terms of di agreement, and dem don reimpose di sanctions as dem dey try rekindle di priesthood of diplomacy. But Iran no wan hear anything! Abeg, wahala no dey finish for dis matter as di Iran Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi don drop di bombshell say dem no dey see any reason to talk with di Europeans wey first trigger di snapback at all.
Western powers don dey shout say Iran wan carry nuclear weapons, but Iran dey do as if dem no hear. Odikwa risky o! International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) sef don talk say dem no get evidence say Iran dey pursue atomic weapons, and dem dey find di efforts to verify Iran’s stockpile since di war begin as serious wahala.
For now, wey Iran dey dey push back on all di pressure, di three European countries wey dey try restart talks go still try reach di table for negotiating a new framework wey fit work, but dem go need better talk because Iran dey vex as e be. Di political playing ground be like war front, and everybody dey want make dem own side win. Hope say di paddy-paddy go play well for all sides!
As di world dey watch, we go see how dis one play out. For now, Iran dey carry di banner say dem no fit touch dem nuclear ambition again. E be like say we go dey hear more drama from dis side!
