TEHRAN, Oct. 18 (Xinhua) — Iran's Foreign Ministry said Saturday that the country's nuclear program should be treated in the same way as any other non-nuclear state party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) due to the expiration of a UN Security Council resolution limiting its nuclear power.
As the Iranian Foreign Ministry stated in a statement, UN Security Council Resolution 2231, which endorsed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), expired on Saturday, and all its provisions, including restrictions on Iran's peaceful nuclear program and related mechanisms, "should be considered terminated."
The agency's statement also stated that the primary objective of the UN Security Council's review of Iran's nuclear dossier was to ensure the peaceful nature of its nuclear program, a goal that has been fully achieved. Consequently, the statement clarified, the Iranian nuclear issue should be removed from the UN Security Council's non-proliferation agenda.
While calling Resolution 2231 and the JCPOA an important multilateral diplomatic achievement, Iran's Foreign Ministry criticized the United States for its irresponsible withdrawal from the agreement in 2018.
The statement emphasizes that attempts to restore the UN Security Council resolutions that have lost their force have no legal or logical basis and are undertaken only in obedience to the United States. –0–
