Iran Press/ Iran news: Nasser Kanani reiterated that Western sanctions against Tehran are illegal, describing their position as unacceptable and non-constructive.
“We believe European governments are just as responsible as the United States in fulfilling their obligations and should be held accountable for failing to do so,” Kanani told reporters on Monday, referring to the JCPOA.
He made the remarks following a recent United Nations Security Council meeting on Resolution 2231, which endorses the JCPOA.
The spokesperson stated that the three European countries avoided fulfilling their obligations within the nuclear deal framework after the United States unilaterally withdrew from the agreement, adding that despite their promises, they could not make up for Washington’s withdrawal.
The Iranian diplomat called on the European signatories to the JCPOA to adhere to their commitments, instead of making accusations against Iran.
Kanani said, "Iran does not accept the West’s allegations as such actions are unconstructive and will not lead anywhere."
He also emphasized that any new sanctions based on baseless accusations are entirely rejected.
The spokesman denounced as "a violation of human rights” the unilateral sanctions imposed by the US and its allies on Iran and stated that Tehran reserves its right to respond to any irresponsible action promptly.
