“The US is no longer a member of the JCPOA. The participants in the JCPOA and the overwhelming majority of the Security Council believe that the US demands to restore UN sanctions against Iran have no legitimate grounds and that the mechanism for restoring sanctions should not be considered launched, "RIA Novosti quotes the diplomat.
Earlier it was reported that the overwhelming majority of the UN Security Council members openly opposed the restoration of sanctions against Iran.
Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya expressed the hope that the United States will no longer seek to restore sanctions against Iran.
