Iran Press/America: "The United States looks forward to continuing to work with the UN Secretary-General on important issues such as Iran, Libya and Syria in the UN Security Council," Mike Pompeo wrote in his twitter.
State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus, regarding the telephone between Pompeo and Guterres, said that one of the most important issues in the conversation was the extension of Iran's arms embargo.
As the UN arms embargo on Iran, part of UN Security Council Resolution 2231, draws to a close, the United States has redoubled its efforts to curb the ending of these sanctions.
Despite the fact that the United States officially withdrew from UN Security Council Resolution 2231 two years ago, it claims in a new legal interpretation that it is still one of the participants in the JCPOA, And in this context, it has the right to use the mechanisms proposed in this agreement, including the trigger mechanism.
Prohibitions on arms sales to Iran will be lifted under the provisions of Security Council Resolution 2231 on 18 October 2020.
On Tuesday, May 8, 2018, US President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew from the international agreement in violation of Washington's obligations under the JCPOA and announced the return of nuclear sanctions.
Trump's move has drawn widespread domestic and international condemnation.
