Oliyanov: Iran Nuclear Deal Collapse Caused by Western Irrational Actions
According to the English section of webangah News Agency, citing Mehr News Agency and Eurasianet, Mikhail Ulyanov, Russia’s permanent representative to international organizations based in Vienna, announced on monday that the breakdown of the Iran nuclear deal (known as the JCPOA) was caused by irrational Western actions.
Ulyanov added that European countries repeatedly escalated tensions around Iran’s nuclear program within the international Atomic Energy Agency.
He further explained that the resolutions they submitted gained majority support due to the specific composition of the IAEA board of Governors but instantly provoked Tehran into retaliatory measures. This pattern has occurred repeatedly.
ulyanov emphasized that Western positions have been entirely irrational and continue to be so. For instance, he pointed out that while Europeans initially proposed extending Resolution 2231, when Russia and China introduced a draft resolution at the UN Security Council, western countries blocked its approval.
