“We believe that it is a huge mistake of the West, first of all, of the participants in the JCPOA, that they have taken a frank course to destroy this most important document... The actions of the West mean only one thing... they prefer not to give a damn about the resolutions of the UN Security Council and prefer to switch to aggressive ones, including with the use of military force of action,” he said.
Lavrov recalled the statement by US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, who announced that the United States is considering the use of military methods in order to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
“If they want to make this the main goal, then there is no need to knock on an open door.
The Iranian religious leadership has long since issued a fatwa prohibiting the development of nuclear weapons,” the minister added.
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said earlier that Washington is considering all options to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
On December 20, the United States authorities said that Tehran "killed the possibility of a quick mutual return" of the United States and Iran to the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
Iranian Ambassador to the UN Amir Saeed Iravani said that the transfer of weapons by Iran is not prohibited by UN Security Council Resolution 2231.
