Tehran, September 29 (Xinhua) — Attempts by European countries and the United States to reinstate repealed UN Security Council resolutions against Iran constitute a "unilateral rewriting" of international law, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated in a letter addressed to his foreign counterparts.

He said these "allegations" must be rejected because they, among other things, contradict the spirit of Resolution 2231, which endorsed the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and world powers, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

Resolution 2231 terminated previous UN Security Council resolutions on Iran's nuclear program, including all sanctions measures, and established a clear timeframe for all nuclear-related restrictions to expire on October 18, 2025, the Iranian Foreign Minister noted. He added that the resolution does not grant any country the right to unilaterally amend, reinterpret, or expand its provisions.

A. Araghchi noted that the snapback procedure referred to by the European “troika” (France, Great Britain, Germany) and the United States was “invalid,” citing the US withdrawal from the JCPOA in 2018 and the failure of European countries to fulfill their obligations under the deal.

Neither Iran nor any other UN member state was legally obligated to comply with such “illegal” demands, he noted, declaring that Iran would continue to defend its sovereign rights and legitimate interests while remaining open to “genuine negotiations on an equal basis.” –0–
