A senior official with Iran's delegation in NY told me; in one week, the President, FM & team held 30+ meetings w/ Western delegations, reaching several preliminary agreements. Yet each time, the French, representing E3, stepped back within hours, seemingly after US consultation.
EU3 triggered snapback mechanism, activating sanctions lifted in 2231 Resolution in 2015.
US withdrew from JCPOA unilaterally in 2018, and EU3 abused it today.
Iran reserves the right to take EU3 to @CIJ_ICJ to make them responsible for damages they inflicted on Iranian people.
The Security Council meeting began to vote on the draft resolution proposed by #Russia and #China for a technical extension of Resolution 2231.
Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, is attending the meeting.

The Security Council’s duty under the UN Charter is, above all, to maintain international peace and security.
Whatever legal debates surround the “snapback” mechanism, it must not be forgotten that the measures reinstated through such a process would be Chapter VII resolutions rooted in an Article 39 determination that the situation constitutes a threat to international peace and security.
Council members therefore have a responsibility to ask themselves, in good faith, whether that determination still reflects present realities.
At this juncture, does dismantling the JCPOA and reactivating outdated resolutions truly serve international peace and security, or does a technical extension of Resolution 2231—which would keep the dispute within a cooperative, rules-based framework—better uphold the Council’s primary mandate by giving diplomacy the time and space to succeed?

President @EmmanuelMacron as though the E3 still holds the reins. In reality, by notifying the Security Council and submitting a draft resolution to a vote, the E3 effectively handed control of the snapback process to others. It did so at Washington’s behest, fully aware that after the vote it cannot halt the process without U.S. approval. Macron’s ultimatums and posture of authority serve mainly to project the illusion that the E3 retains a semblance of autonomy.
Dr. Pezeshkian, the President of Iran in #UNGA:
Attacks by the Israeli regime and the US against #Iran were a grave betrayal of diplomacy and a blow to efforts for stability and peace./1
Iranian President Dr. Pezeshkian arrived in New York a few moments ago to attend the #UNGA80.
He was greeted by Iran's permanent representative to the UN, in his arrival at the John F. Kennedy International Airport.
Iran's Supreme National Security Council suspended cooperations with #IAEA, regarding European states actions against Iran, including the activation of the snapback mechanism.
#Iran also said Europe ignored logical offers based on baseless excuses.
Akram al-Kaabi, Iraq's al-Nujaba Movement:
"The Zionist regime's aggressions against #Iran and its blatant violation of #Iraq's sovereignty will not go unanswered.
The American occupiers must be completely expelled from all Iraqi land and airspace."
Ayatollah Khamenei to the Great Nation of Iran:
The armed forces of #Iran will act with power and will hammer, vile Zionist regime. Zionist regime (#Israel) will not escape this crime unscathed.
The Iranian nation can be assured that there will be no shortcoming in this regard.
Despite their lying, tyrant criminal Zionist forces carried out strikes on residential districts across Tehran, and attacked ordinary civilians.
#TerroristStateofIsrael#Iran
The tyrant criminal Zionist regime (#Israel), claimed to attack some targets in #Iran.
They have also cleared the occupied lands airspace, afraid of Iranian heavy retaliation.
Joint Statement by FM of Iran and AEOI in response to IAEA BG:
The FM of #Iran and AEOI condemned action of US and 3 EU countries in passing a resolution at #IAEA's BG.
