UN, September 25 /Xinhua/ — Iran does not seek to acquire nuclear weapons, President of the Islamic Republic Masoud Pezeshkian stated Wednesday at the general debate of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly.
“I hereby reiterate to this assembly that Iran has never sought and will never seek to develop a nuclear bomb,” he said.
"We do not seek nuclear weapons. This is our conviction, based on the decree of the Supreme Leader and religious authorities. Therefore, we have never sought weapons of mass destruction and never will," the president emphasized.
M. Pezeschkian stated that attempts by three European countries (Great Britain, France and Germany), which are parties to the 2015 nuclear deal, to restore UN sanctions against Iran are illegal.
The three countries, known as the "EU3," said they had triggered the "snapback" mechanism of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) on Iran's nuclear program by notifying the UN Security Council on August 28 that Tehran was not complying with the agreement.
However, the legality of this step by the EU3 is being challenged, as it did not invoke the Dispute Resolution Mechanism provided for in the JCPOA and Resolution 2231 approving the deal.
According to the JCPOA and Resolution 2231, the Dispute Resolution Mechanism has 35 days to resolve the dispute. Snapback can only be initiated if a solution cannot be found in the previous stage.
