The Secretary General of the United Nations Antonio Guterres has described the Joint Comprehensive Plan Of Action (JCPOA) as 'the achievement of multilateral diplomacy'.

Iran Press/America: Secretary General of the United Nations Antonio Guterres in the sixth report on the implementation of Resolution 2231 of the Security Council also urged regional and international players to ensure continuance of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

Secretary General of the United Nations said that the deal was approved by the resolution as a major multilateral diplomatic achievement, Iran Press reported.

Guterres stressed that the parties should help save the deal which constitutes the basis of regional and international peace and security. 

Secretary General of the United Nations also called for immediate enforcement of Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV). 

On Dec. 04, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said the special purpose vehicle (SPV) that the European Union has developed to save the 2015 Iran nuclear deal will soon be in place.

Secretary General of the United Nations also maintained that irrelevant issues to JCPOA should be dealt within a separate atmosphere.

Guterres also welcomed Iran’s compliance with the deal, describing the US exit from the deal as the challenge faced by the deal.

US President Donald Tramp unilaterally withdrew from the JCPOA on May 8, 2018, flagrantly violating Washington's commitments under the international agreement while announcing re-imposition of illegitimate sanctions against Iran.

The US withdrawal was met with worldwide criticism, particularly by other signatories to the international agreement. Britain, France, Russia, China, Germany and the European Union have stressed their compliance with the deal and their support for its proper implementation.

Accordingly, Iran and Europe have begun talks to maintain the deal in recent weeks with Europe pledging to ensure Iran's benefits for the country to be able to remain a party to the deal and to counter the US-led pressure campaign against the Islamic Republic of Iran. 

Iran said that US withdrawal from JCPOA is a clear violation of UN Security Council Resolution 2231 of 2015.

Resolution 2231 was adopted by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) in July 2015 to endorse the JCPOA. 101/201
