Iran not to bear burden of JCPOA all alone, says envoy to UN
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
New York, Nov 11, IRNA -- Iran warned on Monday that it won't bear all the burden of the nuclear pact, saying the US withdrawal from the JCPOA has been an irresponsible act.
"Iran can't and won't bear the burden of JCPOA alone. Irresponsibility of one of the UN member states is very unprecedented," said Eshaq Al-e Habib, Iran's Deputy Representative to the UN on Monday.
He was addressing the 74th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York.
Al-e Habib mentioned that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has verified Iran's peaceful nuclear programme through most rigorous inspection regime.
The Iranian official urged the IAEA to maintain its impartiality.
He added that Iran has remained committed to the nuclear agreement.
Al-e Habib noted that no agreement can stay alive if parties to the deal don't respect their commitments.
