Iran's Permanent Representative on UN Security Council Vote Regarding Sanctions

UN Security Council Vote on Iran Sanctions

• 🇺🇳 The UN Security Council voted on a resolution to continue terminated sanctions on Iran, an action described as forced by the US, UK, and France.
• ⚠️ This action is seen as undermining the council's impartiality and credibility.

Iran's Stance on Sanctions and Diplomacy

• 🗣️ Iran's position is that dialogue and diplomacy are essential to prevent escalation and that Resolution 2231 must expire as agreed.
• 🚫 The E3's attempt to reimpose sanctions is deemed baseless, illegal, and unjustified, with Iran rejecting the unlawful notification.
• ⚖️ Iran argues that those who failed to honor their commitments cannot misuse Resolution 2231 to impose snapback sanctions, calling the move a political abuse of process.

Allegations and Nuclear Program

• 🇺🇸 It is stated that the US left the JCPOA, the E3 failed its obligations, and Israel, backed by the US, attacked Iran's nuclear facilities.
• ⚛️ Iran asserts that its nuclear program is peaceful and under IA safeguards, and that Europe has misused constructive engagement efforts to increase pressure.
• 📉 The divided vote is highlighted as evidence of no consensus in the council, weakening diplomacy and risking dangerous consequences for non-proliferation.

Future of Diplomacy

• 🚪 Iran recognizes no obligation to implement the decision and places responsibility on the US and E3, while stating the door for diplomacy is not closed.
• 🤝 Iran will decide with whom and on what basis to engage, emphasizing readiness for diplomacy without preconditions, but with the understanding that negotiations depend on the discussions themselves.
