Iran Press/ Iran news: The anti-Iran resolution, put forward by the three European nations of France, the UK, and Germany, received 20 votes in favor, two against, and 12 abstentions. The resolution was opposed by China and Russia.
The Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Iran to the United Nations in New York Amir Saeed Iravani has rejected the allegations made against Iran in a recent resolution by the Board of Governors (BoG) of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
In a letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and the rotating president of the UN Security Council Joonkook Hwang on Thursday, Amir Saeed Iravani said Tehran’s decision to take remedial measures is in full compliance with its inherent right under Iran’s 2015 nuclear deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
The Iranian diplomat also lambasted the UK, France, and Germany – known as the E3 – for spearheading the anti-Iran resolution at the UN’s nuclear agency.
Tehran, he said, “rejects all the allegations” in the E3’s letter and “reiterates its position concerning its peaceful nuclear program and the JCPOA.”
Iravani said the E3 continues to level unfounded allegations against Iran for non-compliance with JCPOA commitments.
The Islamic Republic of Iran has persistently complied with its obligations under the Comprehensive Safeguard Agreements (CSA), including through maximum cooperation with the IAEA to implement its verification activities in Iran. To date, Iran has been under the most robust verification and monitoring activities of the Agency.
Iran's envoy added: "It is important to note that, as stated in paragraph 65 of Annex I of the JCPOA, one of the steps aimed at fostering transparency and confidence was the adoption of the updated Code 3.1 of the Subsidiary Arrangements. Modified Code 3.1 was no longer implemented as part of Iran's decision to quit implementing voluntary transparency measures beyond its Safeguard Agreement. It was taken in complete accordance with paragraphs 26 and 36 of the JCPOA, which state that Iran may stop fulfilling its JCPOA obligations in whole or in part if the United States or the European Union reimposes nuclear-related sanctions."
Similarly, Iran’s decision to enrich uranium in Fordow was a remedial measure in response to non-compliance of the United States and its European aliies with their legally binding obligations under Resolution 2231 (2025) and their significant non-performance under the JCPOA commitments. That decision was also made in exercising Iran’s rights expressly stated in paragraphs 26 and 36 of the JCPOA and in full accordance with its inherent rights under the NPT and the commitment under CSA. However, all such activities have been and continue to be under the supervision of the IAEA.
The Islamic Republic of Iran reaffirms its unwavering commitment to diplomacy. It has repeatedly shown its willingness to resume talks with the aim of full implementation of the JCPOA by all participants. The JCPOA is a hard-won multilateral diplomatic achievement that remains the best option with no alternatives. It exemplified successful dialogue and diplomacy, effectively averting an undue crisis. Its revival is indeed in the interest of all participants. 219
