Iran warns of response to EU3-US push to reimpose sanctions

The Foreign Ministry of Iran rejected the attempt by the European troika and the US to revive the UN Security Council resolutions terminated under the JCPOA, called the move illegal, and warned that any action against Iran will be met with a firm and appropriate response, Report informs via Tasnim.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry on Sunday issued a statement in response to the recent attempt by the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and the United States to revive previously terminated UN Security Council resolutions against Iran. It dismissed the move as illegal and in violation of international law, reaffirming its commitment to defend its national interests and the peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program.

"The Foreign Ministry of Iran considers the action taken by the three European countries – the UK, Germany, and France – plus the US, misusing the dispute resolution mechanism outlined in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and UN Security Council Resolution 2231 to reinstate previously terminated resolutions against Iran, as illegal and unjustified," reads the statement.

"The three European countries, under US pressure and provocation, initiated the so-called 'snapback' mechanism despite their own persistent and significant failure to fulfill JCPOA commitments, amounting to a 'gross non-performance,' and have exploited the dispute resolution process," the MFA said.
