TEHRAN, Sept. 28 (Xinhua) — Iran's Foreign Ministry said Sunday it considers the actions of France, Britain and Germany, known as the E3 group, and the United States to reinstate UN Security Council sanctions resolutions against Tehran "illegal and unjustified."
The Iranian Foreign Ministry announced this in a statement made several hours after UN sanctions against Iran came back into force 10 years after they were lifted under the 2015 deal on Iran's nuclear program, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), concluded between Iran and world powers.
The statement said Iran “rejects the E3 and the United States’ claims of reinstating previous resolutions that were terminated by resolution 2231 (which supported the JCPOA) in 2015, and emphasizes that UN member states, including Iran, have no obligations under the provisions and mechanisms of the abrogated resolutions.”
The Iranian Foreign Ministry also called on all countries to refrain from recognizing the “illegal situation that is contrary to UN Security Council Resolution 2231” and accused the EU3 and the US of “abusing” the dispute resolution mechanism under the JCPOA and Resolution 2231.
According to the statement, Iran will firmly defend its rights and national interests, and any steps aimed at undermining these interests “will meet an adequate and decisive response.”
Last month, the E3 formally launched a snapback mechanism that allows UN sanctions to be reinstated within 30 days if Iran is found to be in violation of the JCPOA.
On September 19, the UN Security Council rejected a resolution that would have extended Iran's sanctions waiver under the JCPOA. A subsequent resolution, which would have extended both the JCPOA and Resolution 2231 for six months, was also rejected by the UN Security Council on September 26. On the evening of September 27, sanctions were reimposed against Iran.
