“E3, acting on behalf of Israel and the United States, has decided to malignly put pressure on the Iranian people. This stupidity that Iran has warned is immoral, unjust and illegal.”
“Iran warns that even Ukraine’s gateway, even Ukraine, is left behind in the US on all global issues. Yop should not deceive that “snapback” is leveraged to play a role in at least one arena. Iran has revealed how pursuing that path transforms E3 into a permanent use force. ”
“Officiently, European troikas are now framing reckless gambits as efforts to “advance diplomacy.” ”
“I have personally led a meeting with the US over the past 20 years. My country has been engaged in five rounds of nuclear negotiations with the Trump administration this year. Iran was bombed on the eve of the sixth round of talks. We will halt further illegal military strikes against my people while negotiations are taking place.”
“The actions of European troika effectively reward criminals and punish victims. It was the United States, not Iran, that unilaterally retreated from the JCPOA in 2018, that reimposed sanctions, and that was Europe, not Iran, that failed to ease their commitments to mitigate the economic impact of the US withdrawal (2023), but also imposed new illegal sanctions on Iran’s civil aviation and shipping.”
“As I have made abundantly clear, the E3 decision will have a significant negative impact on diplomacy. It will significantly undermine the ongoing dialogue between Iran and the IAEA. It also forces an appropriate response.”
He added that paths chosen by Europe, if not restrained, have serious consequences for the credibility of the UN Security Council. Invoking so-called snapback mechanisms without legitimate procedures or legal basis not only undermines confidence in the council’s decisions, but also undermines risking international peace and security. It’s time for the council and the world to step up and say “enough.”
