Zarif: US withdrawal from nuclear deal with Iran an overt violation of UN Charter

NEW YORK, (ST)-Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has stressed that the US withdrawal from the nuclear deal with Iran is a blatant violation of the UN Charter and the International law, which threatens UN’s credibility.

US withdrawal from the deal and restoration of the oppressive sanctions on Iran should be considered as a warning against international peace and security, Zarif said in a letter to United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres,  affirming that this is the first time in the history of the UN that a permanent member of the UN Security Council punishes the member states for following a Security Council resolution.

 He affirmed that the Security Council and its members guaranteed a complete implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) by its parties. The UNSC should severely condemn the US re-imposition of illegal sanctions against the people of Iran.

He went on to say that the US should be made accountable for the damage made to the people of Iran and that all the damage should be recompensed and the international community should guarantee the implementation of and loyalty to the JCPOA.

The Iranian top diplomat indicated that the US has not only acted according to its JCPOA commitments, but it has also kept impeding the measures taken by the other members of the deal.

In 2018, the US President Donald Trump announced his country’s withdrawal from the nuclear deal that was signed with Iran and the G5+1 in 2015.
