On December 14, the UN Security Council discussed the comprehensive agreement on the Iranian nuclear issue. Many parties have called on the United States to lift sanctions on Iran as soon as possible.
DiCarlo, Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, said that the Iran nuclear agreement is a multilateral diplomatic achievement achieved through tremendous efforts by multiple parties, and the United States should lift relevant sanctions on Iran. He also called on Iran to withdraw its previous actions to leave the Iran nuclear agreement.
China pointed out that all parties concerned should seize the opportunity to advance the negotiations on the right track until the goal of resuming compliance with the contract is finally achieved.
Geng Shuang, Deputy Permanent Representative of China to the United Nations: The US has been shouting that multilateralism is back and diplomacy is back. The resumption of talks is a test of the US attitude. The US should first lift all illegal sanctions against Iraq and third parties, and Iran should resume full compliance on this basis. While saying that the United States is willing to actively participate in the resumption of talks, it has recently escalated sanctions against Iran. This practice violates international law and basic norms of international relations.
The Chinese side also emphasized that the nuclear submarine cooperation between the United States, Britain, and Australia involves the transfer of weapon-grade nuclear materials, which poses a serious nuclear proliferation risk and negatively affects the political and diplomatic resolution of the Iranian nuclear issue. This double standard and undermines the purpose of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons The approach with the purpose must be corrected.
The Iranian representative refuted the conflation of Iran’s test-launch of ballistic missiles with the Iran nuclear agreement by some countries. He said that Iran’s weapons development for its own national security is not within the framework of the Iran nuclear agreement.
In July 2015, Iran reached an Iran nuclear agreement with the United States, Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany. In May 2018, the United States unilaterally withdrew from the Iran nuclear agreement, and subsequently restarted and added a series of sanctions against Iran. Since May 2019, Iran has gradually suspended the implementation of certain provisions of the Iran nuclear agreement, but promised that the measures taken are “reversible.”Return to Sohu to see more
