UK Foreign Secretary: We Will Continue Pursuing Diplomatic Channels with Iran

According to the English section of webangah News ⁤Agency, citing Mehr News Agency,⁤ Yvette Cooper, the UK‌ Foreign⁤ Secretary, reiterated her country’s opposed⁤ stance against Tehran ⁢on‌ Sunday.

Ignoring the recent attacks by the ⁤United ​States and Israel on Iran during ⁤ongoing indirect negotiations between Tehran and Washington,‍ Cooper claimed on her social media account X that Iran had ⁤provided no guarantees‌ regarding its⁤ nuclear programme and⁣ had⁢ not participated in the talks.

cooper asserted that ⁤this is why⁤ her country activated snapback sanctions. She added that their ‌countries would continue to follow diplomatic paths and negotiations. “The reimposition of UN sanctions does‌ not ​mark the end of diplomacy,” she said.

the UK,Germany,and France-known as the European⁣ Troika-accused Iran of violating the 2015 nuclear‌ agreement (JCPOA),making ⁣unfounded allegations without referencing Washington’s unilateral withdrawal from​ this accord‍ in 2018 or ​violations by European parties. They initiated​ a​ 30-day process to activate the snapback mechanism.

The UN Security ​Council, under pressure from the US ⁣on Friday,‍ rejected a draft resolution⁣ by Russia and China aimed at extending Resolution 2231-which supported the nuclear deal with Iran-with four votes⁣ in favor, two abstentions, and nine against.

With this ‍rejection, international sanctions against Iran ‌were officially reinstated starting today despite⁣ questions about‌ their legality.
