According to the statement, the restrictions under Resolution 2231 concerning Iran’s peaceful nuclear program are set to expire on October 18, 2025, and any attempt to extend or revive them contradicts the original agreement. Iran accused the European trio of gross and continued non-compliance with their JCPOA obligations and of supporting military aggression by the U.S. and Israel against Iranian nuclear facilities under IAEA safeguards.
Tehran described the move as a misuse of the dispute resolution mechanism outlined in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and Resolution 2231, calling it legally baseless and politically motivated.
Iran's foreign ministry emphasized that no legal obligation arises from the reinstated resolutions, urging all UN member states to reject this unlawful initiative. It also criticized the Security Council’s handling of the issue, noting that the views of key JCPOA members, specifically Iran, China, and Russia, were ignored under pressure from Western powers.
Iran further condemned the recent military attacks on its nuclear infrastructure by Israel and the U.S., calling them acts of aggression that resulted in casualties and damage to critical facilities. The statement warned that these actions carry international legal consequences and affirmed Iran’s intent to pursue justice and compensation through all available legal channels.
The ministry concluded by reaffirming Iran’s commitment to diplomacy and peaceful nuclear development, while warning that any attempt to undermine its national interests will be met with a firm and proportionate response.
