“In address before the UN Security Council, I outlined how the United States has betrayed diplomacy and how the E3 have buried it,” the top Iranian diplomat wrote on X on Saturday night.
“None of what I have seen in New York suggests that the failure of dialogue is by accident. The U.S./E3 rejection of diplomacy is intent and premised on the miscalculation that “might makes right”, and that the Iranian People will give in to bullying. Doubling down on faulty assumptions will not resolve the unnecessary crisis at hand.”
“In my statement, I stressed that the E3 violated their obligations under the JCPOA and Resolution 2231, thereby forfeiting any right to now claim. Their invocation of the so-called snapback mechanism is nothing but a blatant abuse of process. UNSCR 2231 will expire on Oct 18, 2025. Terminated sanctions cannot be revived and any attempt to do is null and void.”
