MOSCOW, 28 APR – RIA Novosti. Partners of Moscow in the UN security Council and a Joint comprehensive plan of action is unlikely to support voice was “ridiculous” the claims of States to the agreement on the Iranian nuclear program, said Tuesday the permanent representative of Russia to international organizations in Vienna Mikhail Ulyanov.
Previously, the newspaper the New York Times, citing sources in the US administration reported that U.S. Secretary of state Mike Pompeo is considering a plan under which Washington will be able to use the position of the nuclear deal with Iran, which the us leader Donald trump has formally come out in 2018, to extend the arms embargo against Tehran or to resume harsher sanctions.
Ulyanov recalled that October 18 is the deadline of the current regime of arms deliveries to Iran.
“the validity of the current regime expires, and this makes the Americans very nervous,” – said Ulyanov in an interview to the newspaper “Kommersant”.
According to him, the US is now working on one of the options, and “its essence is to insist that the US retains the status of party to the AGREEMENT”.
“This status is necessary for the Americans to attempt to start the restoration of the former all sanctions by the UN against Iran, as is permitted in certain situations 2231 a resolution of the UN Security Council”, he added.
Ulyanov explained that the U.S. side “expects to find a lead” in the wording of paragraph 10 of the resolution, which lists all the countries involved in the negotiations AGREEMENT, including the United States, where they are collectively referred to as parties to the nuclear deal.
“They apparently will try to use this as a formal pretext in order to insist on continuing after him the status of party to the AGREEMENT. The argument, of course, ridiculous. We all know that in may 8, 2018 Washington officially announced its withdrawal from the nuclear deal. Everyone understands the absurdity of such a question… I don’t think the members of the Security Council were prepared to support the claim of the Americans to be part of SVPD. Everyone understands that this savagery. But to create such visits can very much”, – said the permanent representative of the Russian Federation.
