Shortly after the UN Security Council meeting ended, the foreign ministry of Iran’s regime called the move by three European countries to reinstate UN sanctions illegal and a misuse of the JCPOA dispute resolution mechanism and Resolution 2231.
In the statement, which was published on Friday, September 19, and condemned the actions of Britain, Germany, and France, it was said: “The full responsibility for the consequences of this action, if it leads to the reinstatement of previously terminated Security Council resolutions against Iran, lies with the United States and the three European countries who, by distorting facts and making baseless claims, also pressured some non-permanent members of the Security Council to side with them.”
At the same time, Saeed Iravani, Iran’s regime representative at the United Nations, told reporters after the Security Council meeting that Abbas Araghchi, the regime’s foreign minister, will hold several meetings with European counterparts during the UN General Assembly.

Iravani: “We will not accept any precondition before negotiations.”
Meanwhile, Iran’s proposed resolution at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) calling for a ban on attacks against safeguarded nuclear facilities, including Iran’s nuclear sites, was not discussed in the current General Conference session, and a decision on it was postponed until next year’s meeting.
Security Council against Iran’s regime
On Friday evening, members of the UN Security Council blocked the adoption of a resolution that was intended to extend the suspension of sanctions on Iran, with four votes in favor, two abstentions, and nine against.
China, Russia, Algeria, and Pakistan were the only countries that supported Iran’s regime’s nuclear positions in this meeting.
As a result, the implementation process of the snapback mechanism continues, and if no agreement is reached in the coming days, all UN sanctions will automatically be reinstated on September 28, less than two weeks from now.
