Moscow and Beijing Launch New Initiative to Resolve Iran’s Nuclear Issue

According to the English section of webangah ⁤News ‌Agency, citing‌ al Mayadeen, Mikhail Ulyanov, Russia’s envoy to the International Atomic energy Agency (IAEA), stated in an interview with Al Mayadeen that Russia and​ China will soon present ‌a joint ⁣initiative to resolve the Iranian nuclear crisis.

He also criticized European countries’ approach, saying their actions have weakened political⁤ efforts, diplomacy, and cooperation between the‍ IAEA ⁣and the Islamic Republic ⁤of Iran.

Vassily Nebenzia, Russia’s ambassador to the United⁣ Nations, emphasized during a Security Council​ session that signatories of the ‍Iran nuclear agreement do not ⁢have the right to reinstate UN ‍sanctions against ‍Tehran.

Nebenzia added ⁢that Europe’s “troika” efforts to restore sanctions⁤ against Iran lack legal legitimacy.

The Russian representative stressed that European countries reject diplomatic avenues⁣ regarding Iran’s nuclear program and asserted that reimposing sanctions on Iran holds no legal validity.

After a⁣ resolution extending iran’s sanction ‍waivers failed ⁣to pass, Nebenzia condemned attempts to⁤ reinstate sanctions against Tehran.

He affirmed that lifting sanctions remains‍ the only correct decision and expressed surprise at South korea aligning with⁢ destructive western policies.

nebenzia further noted it is ⁤clear that Britain, France, ‍and Germany aim to⁣ use the Security Council as leverage against a state defending it’s national interests.
