Tehran (ISNA) - Ambassador and permanent representative of Iran to the International Organizations in Vienna, Kazem Gharib-Abadi stressed that the US attempts to establish itself as the JCPOA participant have no legal grounds.
The U.S. attempts to establish itself as "JCPoA participant" have no legal grounds. Para 10, UNSC Res 2231 is a reflection of para 1.2 Annex IV of the JCPOA which enumerates "JCPOA participants". Trump ended the U.S. participation in JCPOA issuing a Presidential Memoranda on May 8, 2018: "... and I am today making good on my pledge to end the participation of the United States in the JCPOA". The U.S. has also ended its participation in practice, it has not participated in the meetings within the framework of the JCPoA since its unilateral withdrawal from the Deal," he wrote on his official Twitter account.
"The US has also violated all its commitments as a JCPoA participant and has spared no efforts to destroy it through re-imposition of sanctions and threatening others to be punished in case of trade with Iran," Kazem Gharib-Abadi added.
