Failure of Trumps new anti-Iran UNSC move further highlights US isolation

Irans ambassador to the United Kingdom says the US continued failure to unite the UN Security Council against the2015 nuclear agreement with world powers once again proves the isolated nature of its policy concerning the deal.

[US President Donald] Trumps administration brought about another defeat for itself at the end of 2020, and once again showed the isolation of its policy concerning the JCPOA, Hamid Baeidinejad tweeted on Thursday.

He was referring by acronym to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the official name of the nuclear deal that has the UK, France, Russia, and China plus Germany as its other deal partners alongside Iran.

The United States illegally and unilaterally left the nuclear agreement in 2018. It, therefore, lost all possible rights to invoke its terms, including a so-called snapback mechanism that enables return of all of the Security Councilsanctions against the Islamic Republic.

However, acting as if it was still a JCPOA member, the US went to the UNSC earlier this year and tried to have the sanctions returned. As predicted, it was snubbed by the absolute majority of the Security Councils 15-strong members.

Baeidinejads remarks came after the US took yet another unrealistic move by asking the Security Council to allocate a budget for the implementation of the snapback mechanism, althoughthe provision has not been triggered as Washington would have desired.

The unjustified nature of Washingtons latter move was verified by the opposition it was met with on the part of 110 UN members.

The Iranian official described the response served to the US as an instance of decisive objection.

Iran's UK envoy reminded that even Americas allies in the JCPOA the US, France, and Germany and many other pro-Washington UN members rejected its proposal in chorus with the countries of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), which traditionally oppose big powers' one-upmanship.
