The United Nations Security Council voted Friday to impose deep economic sanctions on Iran on the nuclear program that was born after Britain, France and Germany, after Britain, France and Germany.
The three European countries are scheduled to sign a 2015 agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), aimed at preventing Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
The three alleged that Iran had broken its promises under the deal.
The Iranian ambassador to the United Nations reacted angrily, calling the vote “illegal”.
Iran’s envoy to the United Nations, describing the UN Security Council as “oppression politics,” Iran’s envoy to the United Nations, told UN security, “Today’s actions are hasty, unnecessary and unnecessary. Iran has not recognized any responsibility for implementing it.”
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragachi said earlier Friday that he had proposed European powers “fair and balanced” to stop the return of sanctions.
British Ambassador Barbara Woodward said after voting against the resolution that increased the current suspension of sanctions, “We (Iran) now request to work.”
She left the open door for diplomacy in the UN General Assembly next week, when the heads of state and government gather in New York.
Before the vote, French President Emmanuel Macron said in an Israeli television interview that he expects international sanctions to be restored by the end of the month. But the French ambassador to the United Nations said on Friday that the option of negotiations is still on the table.
In a letter to the United Nations in mid -August, the “European three” violated several promises under the JCPOA to Iran, which included the construction of uranium stock from the level allowed to more than 40 times the level allowed under the agreement.
Despite the flare of diplomatic talks between European powers and Tehran, the Western three insisted that no progress had been made.
“The council still has time to highlight more resolution to increase the suspension of sanctions,” said Govin.
Contracts in 2015 Tatters
During Donald Trump’s first presidency, and after imposing sanctions on Iran, the United States has dismissed a hard -winning contract since its departure in 2018.
Iran has denied that Western powers and Israel have long been trying to acquire nuclear weapons in Tehran.
After the US withdrawal, Tehran gradually dismissed its promises under the agreement, and its nuclear activities intensified since the 12 -day war between Iran and Israel in June.
The war also removed Tehran’s nuclear talks with the United States and indicated Iran to suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and inspectors of a UN -based UN agency left the Middle East soon after that.
Iran withdrew a draft resolution in the IAEA late Thursday, citing US pressure, calling for a ban on attacks against nuclear facilities after the war with Israel with Israel.
In mid -June, Israel launched an extraordinary bombing campaign against Iran, which launched a war that saw Israel and the US also attacked the key Iranian nuclear facilities.
During his previous term, Trump tried to mobilize the so -called “Snapback clause” of the JCPOA to impose sanctions on Iran in 2020, but failed two years ago due to the unilateral withdrawal of his country.
Although European powers have repeatedly made repeated efforts to restore the 2015 agreement through negotiations for years, saying they have a “unclear legal base” to mobilize the clause, but Iran does not share its views.
Iran has threatened that if Snapback has been mobilized, the nuclear non -proliferation agreement (NPT) will be withdrawn.
