“Today's discussion has clearly demonstrated the position of the majority of the members of the Security Council. They all confirmed ... the need to maintain the JCPOA. And the preservation of the JCPOA is important for the entire international community, including the United States, ”RIA Novosti quotes the diplomat.
Nebenzya expressed the hope that the United States "will eventually be able to realize this and will not follow a path that is not only illegal, but simply will not lead to the achievement of the result" that they expected.
As the agency clarifies, on Tuesday, August 25, the overwhelming majority of the UN Security Council members openly opposed the restoration of sanctions, since they do not believe that the United States, which left the JCPOA, has the right to launch this procedure.
On August 21, American leader Donald Trump announced the US intention to restore sanctions against Iran.
The head of EU diplomacy, Josep Borrell, said that the United States cannot launch the procedure for restoring sanctions against Iran.
Great Britain, France and Germany also opposed the US intention to sanction Iran.
