Iran (IP)- Iran's ambassador and permanent representative to international organizations in Vienna announced grounds and reasons for the adoption of the "Law on Strategic Action to Lift Sanctions and Protect the Interests of the Iranian Nation" in a briefing report to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the organization's member states.

Iran PressIran News: Speaking among reporters on Sunday, Kazem Gharibabadi stated that the unilateral and illegal withdrawal of the United States from the 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) on May 8, 2018, and the re-imposition of sanctions lifted under the JCPOA, the imposition of new sanctions under various pretexts and changing their titles, putting pressure on other countries and private companies to follow the so-called failed policy of maximum pressure are considered as the main focal points in this report.

Gharibabadi added: "Failure to take appropriate measures by the European Union and the three European countries to ensure the practical interests of Iran under the JCPOA and effectively counter US sanctions and compensate them for the effects of lifting sanctions, despite more than a year of strategic Iranian patience in fulfilling its obligations and the confirmation of Iran's adherence in 15 consecutive reports of the director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) are other points mentioned in Iran's letter to the international body as well.

Worsening of the situation of the JCPOA due to non-fulfillment of European parties' obligations, including finance, banking, insurance, trade, energy, investment, etc., Iran's lack of practical benefit from the nuclear agreement, upsetting the balance between the obligations in the JCPOA and the balance between data and outputs, and the provision of the legal basis for the partial or total cessation of Iran's obligations under articles 26 and 36 of the nuclear agreement, are other focal points of Iran's letter to the agency.

The letter also includes the adoption of a policy of extravagance, inaction, sabotage (nuclear), and assassination (Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, a prominent Iranian defense, and nuclear scientist) or supporting such a policy by remaining silent in the face of destructive actions, despite Iran's action within the framework of the JCPOA and the continuation of full and transparent cooperation with the IAEA.

Gharibabadi went on to say: "The report also states that the passage of the Strategic Action Law is in fact a strategic and calibrated reaction adopted towards the actions of the Trump administration (former US President) over the past few years and in the shadow of the inaction of some parties of the 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal against the Iranian nation, aiming to provide another opportunity to save the JCPOA through the lifting of sanctions to restore the lost balance in the nuclear deal."

He also underscored that all Iran's compensatory measures are carried out under the IAEA's supervision and verification and can be returned if other parties' obligations are fulfilled and the anti-Iranian sanctions are fully lifted.
