Iran, China, Russia urge West to pave way for restoring JCPOA
Permanent Representative of Russia to International Organizations in Vienna Mikhail Ulyanov presented the statement, which underlined that the US withdrew from the deal unilaterally and illegally in 2018 and imposed unilateral sanctions on Iran, but the three countries continued to support the JCPOA.
They also argued that Tehran, Beijing, and Moscow spared no efforts in revitalizing the nuclear agreement and took part in eight rounds of talks, which led to the August 2022 text with the aim of reaching that end.
And other JCPOA signatories such as France, Germany, Britain, plus the US, vowed to cooperate in this regard, but they did not abide by their commitments due to their political considerations, the statement noted.
Iran and world powers reached the JCPOA in 2015, under which Tehran curbed parts of its nuclear program in exchange for the removal of international sanctions. The US, however, unilaterally abandoned the deal in 2018 despite Iran’s adherence to its commitments under the accord.
