World must withstand lawbreaking US behavior: Iran FM
Tehran (KNA): Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says all members of the international community must stand up to US lawbreaking behavior, bullying and disregard for the rule of law after Washington announced it was withdrawing from a landmark nuclear deal Iran signed with the P5+1 group of countries in 2015.
In separate letters to his counterparts in various countries, Zarif warned of the dangerous consequences of the US "illegal and unilateral" move to pull out from the nuclear agreement, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and called for international condemnation of Washington's extremism.
"Illegal withdrawal of the US government from the JCPOA, especially bulling methods used by this government to bring other governments in line, has discredited the rule of law and international law at international level while challenging the goals and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and efficiency of international bodies," the Iranian foreign minister said.
He added that the US withdrawal from the JCPOA was the country's biggest effort aimed at violating and weakening the nuclear accord and the UN Resolution 2231, adopted in July 2015 to endorse the historic deal.
He emphasized that the agreement's scope, regulations and time frame were the outcome of "accurate, sensitive and balanced multilateral" talks and it is impossible to make any change or hold new negotiations about them.
