Iran's UN mission: E3at a decisive moment over snapback mechanism

New York, IRNA -- The Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations says that the UN Security Council now faces a defining moment, as the European Troika moves to trigger the snapback mechanism.
Iran's UN delegation said on Thursday that the UN Security Council must choose between supporting the draft resolution proposed by Russia and China, intended to extend diplomatic engagement, or activating the snapback mechanism, which could have serious consequences.
The reaction of the E3 to this draft will clearly reveal whether they are genuinely committed to diplomacy or they intend to escalate the crisis, the Iranian mission said.
Earlier in the day, the E3 - France, the United Kingdom, and Germany - formally submitted a notification to UNSC to invoke the Dispute Resolution Mechanism (DRM), also referred to as the snapback mechanism, to reinstate UN sanctions on Iran that were removed by the Resolution 2231.
Foreign minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi responded by reaffirming Iran's responsible and goodwill-based approach to diplomacy, adding that Tehran will defend its national rights and interests by responding appropriately to the European Troika's "unlawful and unjustified" decision to reinstate UN Security Council sanctions.
Araghchi made the remarks on Thursday during a phone conversation with the foreign ministers of three European countries and the European Union's High Representative for Foreign Affair.
Also, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the E3's decision to invoke the snapback mechanism to reinstate UN Security Council sanctions and urged the world to eject the unlawful, unjustified, and politically motivated move.
