Speaker 1: Thank you for listening to Pictures Media Radio. Welcome to
Speaker 1: Policy and Rights the show Fashion Welcomer, Policy that Human Joy.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Policy and right here in the since
Speaker 1: Media Radio. I'm your host. Michael cloggs. Okay, so we've
Speaker 1: had Iran and Israel go at it, Rockets fired, destruction,
Speaker 1: lives killed, and cease fire has come. But we don't
Speaker 1: have a permanent solution, a solution that would put both
Speaker 1: sides at peace. Yes, Israel is right that that as
Speaker 1: part of the Islamic regime when when they took took
Speaker 1: power in nineteen seventy nine, uh of Iran, that that
Speaker 1: part of that, that of that takeover, that what that
Speaker 1: platform was the destruction of Israel. The destruction of Israel
Speaker 1: as not as as in kill all the Jewish people,
Speaker 1: but the destruction of Israel as a colony. That is
Speaker 1: starting the lives of the Palestinians, because all the Palestinians
Speaker 1: had to be removed from the areas in which they
Speaker 1: were moving the Jews they had suffered from the Holocaust
Speaker 1: kind of by an ironic thing. But that doesn't mean
Speaker 1: that a peace cannot be found. They will put everyone
Speaker 1: in the region at ease. The question is from nineteen
Speaker 1: forty something to today, why haven't we found that solution?
Speaker 1: Why is it a constant thing through the United Nations?
Speaker 1: Which sometimes I, I, I, you, we do have to question,
Speaker 1: is the United Nations act be acting fairly or they
Speaker 1: more tipped towards the Israeli side than they are to
Speaker 1: towards the a neutral position between Israel and Iran. And
Speaker 1: one of the questions would be, would would be to
Speaker 1: ask yourself why that would be. But this situation is
Speaker 1: I is right now that Israel in a er in
Speaker 1: Iran are not firing rockets at each other. Is Israel
Speaker 1: is claiming supremacy over the air space in the Middle
Speaker 1: East right now, and Iran is shaking its head? What
Speaker 1: is really? Why are we being demonized? So one of
Speaker 1: the things that I know from growing up in North
Speaker 1: America that we were taught that from the time of
Speaker 1: nineteen eighties, something that it ran was eating in a
Speaker 1: betting terrorists. Well kind of interesting thing that was happening
Speaker 1: at the particular time when they really started talking about
Speaker 1: terrorism is that the Cold War with Russia was really
Speaker 1: kind of coming to an end. The Burline Wall was
Speaker 1: about to fall, and arms dealers needed a new target
Speaker 1: to test their weapons on so that they could sell
Speaker 1: more weapons. But we're not going to go down that road.
Speaker 1: Just some things to think about, some things something we
Speaker 1: as the public, we need to think about. What is happening?
Speaker 1: Why is it there from nineteen forty to nineteen to
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, we haven't been able to find a
Speaker 1: permanent solution that would develop a piece between different groups
Speaker 1: in in Lebanon who are pro Palestinian, the Palestinians themselves,
Speaker 1: and Iran, who is also pro Palestinian. Why haven't we
Speaker 1: been able to develop a true piece that would wash
Speaker 1: over the land and everybody could live happily together, because
Speaker 1: ultimately that what has to happen. We're not gonna answer
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of those questions with this next nearly
Speaker 1: two hour recording of you and security Cancel as they
Speaker 1: discuss back and forth different countries voicing their opinion about
Speaker 1: the conflict between Israel and Iran. And at the end
Speaker 1: we're gonna hear from the Israel ambassador as he says
Speaker 1: that they pray three times a day for peace in
Speaker 1: the Middle East. So why don't we get started with
Speaker 1: that recording? I don't want to take too long in
Speaker 1: an introduction, because I want you to be able to
Speaker 1: go back and forth and be able to do whatever
Speaker 1: it is also you're doing. And listen to this recording
Speaker 1: of the Uncle as they talk about the non proliferation
Speaker 1: of Iran's.
Speaker 2: Mister.
Speaker 3: The nine thousand, nine hundred and forty fourth Meeting of
Speaker 3: the Security Council is called to order. The provisional agenda
Speaker 3: for this meeting is non proliferation. The agenda is adopted
Speaker 3: in accordance with Rule thirty seven of the Council's Provisional
Speaker 3: Rules of Procedure. I invite the representatives of Germany, the
Speaker 3: Islamic Republic of Iran and Israel to participate in this meeting.
Speaker 3: It is so decided, in accordance with Rule thirty nine
Speaker 3: of the Council's Provisional Rules of Procedure. I invite the
Speaker 3: following briefers to participate in this meeting.
Speaker 4: Ms.
Speaker 3: Marie Di carlo On, the Secretary General for Political and
Speaker 3: Peace Building Affairs, and His Excellency Missus Stavros Lambergnides, head
Speaker 3: of the delegation of the European Union to the United Nations.
Speaker 3: It is so decided The Security Council will now begin
Speaker 3: its consideration of Item two of the agenda. I wish
Speaker 3: to draw the attention of Council members to Document s
Speaker 3: Slash twenty twenty five Slash three three five, a letter
Speaker 3: dated twenty eight of May twenty twenty five from the
Speaker 3: President of the Security Council acting in the absence of
Speaker 3: a facilitator for the implementation of Resolution twenty two thirty one,
Speaker 3: addressed to the President of the Security Council, and document
Speaker 3: s Slash twenty twenty five three ninety seven, the nineteenth
Speaker 3: Report of the Secretary General on the implementation of Security
Speaker 3: Council Resolution twenty two to thirty one. At this meeting,
Speaker 3: the Council will give here briefings by Miss Rose Marie
Speaker 3: de Carlo, His Excellency, Missus Stavros Lamborgnidies, and Ambassador Samuel S. Bogar,
Speaker 3: Permanent Representative of Slovenia in his capacity a Security Council
Speaker 3: facilitator for the implementation of Resolution twenty two thirty one.
Speaker 3: I now give the floor to Miss rose Marie de Carlo.
Speaker 5: Madam President, thank you for the opportunity to brief the
Speaker 5: Council on the joint comprehensive Plan of Action and the
Speaker 5: implementation of Resolution twenty two thirty one. As the Secretary
Speaker 5: General noted in his latest report, with less than four
Speaker 5: months left until the termination of its provisions, the objectives
Speaker 5: of Resolution twenty two thirty one and those of the
Speaker 5: JCPO way have yet to be fully realized. This is regrettable.
Speaker 5: The JCPOWA was adopted in two thy fifteen to ensure
Speaker 5: that the Islamic Republic of Iran's nuclear program would be
Speaker 5: exclusively peaceful. It included sanctions relief, nuclear program restrictions, and
Speaker 5: monitoring and verification. The JCPOA has faced many challenges since
Speaker 5: its inception, including the withdrawal of the United States from
Speaker 5: the agreement in twenty eighteen and Iran's withdrawal from some
Speaker 5: of its commitments as outlined in the plan. Still, over
Speaker 5: the last few months, JCPOWA participants increased their efforts to
Speaker 5: identify a way forward for full implementation of the plan.
Speaker 5: In addition, Iran and the United States engaged in five
Speaker 5: rounds of bilateral talks facilitated by Oman. Regrettably, neither of
Speaker 5: these initiatives produced a way forward to ensuring the peaceful
Speaker 5: nature of Iran's nuclear program. The military escalation between Israel
Speaker 5: and Iran since thirteen June, and United States air strikes
Speaker 5: on Iran's nuclear facilities on twenty one June complicated prospects
Speaker 5: for achieving full implementation of Resolution twenty two thirty one.
Speaker 5: Iran strikes yesterday an Abase in Qatar, an action which
Speaker 5: the Secretary General condemned, further exacerbated insecurity in an already
Speaker 5: tense region, Madam President. Earlier today, the Secretary General welcomed
Speaker 5: the announcement by the United States in coordination with Katar,
Speaker 5: of a cease fire agreement between Israel and Iran and
Speaker 5: urged them to respect it fully. This is a significant
Speaker 5: achievement that potentially pulls Iran, Israel, and the region back
Speaker 5: from the brink. The people of Iran in Israel have
Speaker 5: already suffered too much. According to the Iranian Ministry of Health,
Speaker 5: since the start of the conflict, at least six hundred
Speaker 5: six people have been killed, with one hundred seven killed
Speaker 5: in the past twenty four hours and five thousand, three
Speaker 5: hundred thirty two injured. According to Israeli authorities, twenty eight
Speaker 5: people were killed and one thousand, four hundred seventy two
Speaker 5: were injured during the conflict, Madame President. In its quarterly
Speaker 5: report of thirty one May twenty twenty five, the International
Speaker 5: Atomic Energy Agency observed that the significantly increase production and
Speaker 5: accumulation of highly enriched uranium by the Islamic Republic of
Speaker 5: Iran was of serious concern. The IAEA reiterated that its
Speaker 5: verification and monitoring activities related to the JCPAA have been
Speaker 5: seriously affected by the secession of implementation by Iran of
Speaker 5: its nuclear related commitments under the plan. The agency also
Speaker 5: again noted that it had lost its continuity of knowledge
Speaker 5: on many aspects of Iran's nuclear program as it had
Speaker 5: not been able to perform verification and monitoring activities in
Speaker 5: the Islamic Republic of Iran for more than four years.
Speaker 5: In addition, the IAEA noted it was unable to verify
Speaker 5: the total stockpile of enriched uranium in the country and
Speaker 5: had not done so since February twenty twenty one. During
Speaker 5: the reporting period, the Secretary General received several communications from
Speaker 5: JCPOWA participants. On seventeen March, the Permanent representatives of China,
Speaker 5: the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the Russian Federation shared
Speaker 5: a joint statement adopted at their meeting of fourteen March
Speaker 5: in Beijing, in which they stress the importance of Resolution
Speaker 5: twenty two thirty one, including its time frames. In a
Speaker 5: separate letter received the same day, the Permanent Representative of
Speaker 5: China shared a proposal for the settlement of the Iranian
Speaker 5: nuclear issue, highlighting the JCPOWA as the basis for a
Speaker 5: new consensus and cooperation through dialog and a step by
Speaker 5: step and reciprocal approach. In letters received on nine eleven
Speaker 5: and twelve June, the Permanent Representatives of France, Germany, the
Speaker 5: United Kingdom, the US, Islamic Republic of Iran, and the
Speaker 5: Russian Federation shared their different views regarding the causes of
Speaker 5: the impasse in the implementation of Resolution twenty two thirty one.
Speaker 5: Despite their diverging outlooks, all five member states reiterated the
Speaker 5: importance of negotiations and reaffirmed their commitment to finding a
Speaker 5: diplomatic solution. Madame President will now turn to the restrictive
Speaker 5: measures set out in Annex B to Resolution twenty two
Speaker 5: thirty one. The only measures that remain in effect pertain
Speaker 5: to nuclear activities and transfers. Those measures will remain in
Speaker 5: place until eighteen October twenty twenty five, unless decided otherwise
Speaker 5: by the Council. The Secretariat received no allegations of violations
Speaker 5: of these provisions during the reporting period. Moreover, no new
Speaker 5: proposals have been submitted in the Procurement channel in the
Speaker 5: last six months of the reporting cycle. The Security Council, however,
Speaker 5: received eight notifications regarding the nuclear related restrictive measures for
Speaker 5: certain activities consistent with the jcpowa Madam President, at the
Speaker 5: heart of this conflict is the nature of Iran's nuclear program.
Speaker 5: Following the deadly clashes of the past twelve days, the
Speaker 5: ceasefire agreement is an opportunity to avoid a catastrophic escalation
Speaker 5: and achieve a peaceful resolution of the Iran nuclear issue. Diplomacy,
Speaker 5: dialogue and verification remained the best option to ensure the
Speaker 5: exclusively peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program and to bring
Speaker 5: about concrete economic benefits to the people of Iran. As
Speaker 5: the Secretary General said earlier today, the United Nations stands
Speaker 5: ready to support all efforts that advance peace, dialogue and
Speaker 5: stability in the region. And finally, Madame President, the Secretariat
Speaker 5: will continue to support the implementation of twenty two thirty
Speaker 5: one until the termination date of eighteen October. I'd like
Speaker 5: to take this opportunity to thank his Excellency Samuel's Bogar
Speaker 5: of Slovenia for his leadership as Security Council Facilitator for
Speaker 5: the implementation of the resolution. I also think the Coordinator
Speaker 5: of the Procurement Working Group of the Joint Commissioner for
Speaker 5: our continued cooperation. Thank you, Madame President.
Speaker 3: I thank mister Carlo for her briefing. I now give
Speaker 3: the floor to his Excellency Missus Stavros Lamborgnides.
Speaker 6: Thank you, Madame President. It is in honor to have
Speaker 6: the opportunity to address the Council on behalf of the
Speaker 6: Higher Presentative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and
Speaker 6: Security Policy, Miscai Acalas in her capacity as Coordinator of
Speaker 6: the Joint Commission of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
Speaker 6: I would also like to thank Secretary General Tony Gutts
Speaker 6: and the Secretariat for their work related to the implementational
Speaker 6: Resolution twenty two thirty one, as well as Slovenia as
Speaker 6: the facilitator of Resolution twenty two thirty one. We take
Speaker 6: note of the nineteenth Report of the Sectary General on
Speaker 6: the implementation of Resolution twenty two thirty one. This session
Speaker 6: takes place under most serious circumstances, with a dangerous cycle
Speaker 6: of escalation following military action against nuclear related sites in Iran.
Speaker 6: In view of this, the UN Sectary General on Sunday
Speaker 6: stated in this Council that there is a growing risk
Speaker 6: that this conflict could rapidly get out of control, with
Speaker 6: catastrophic consequences for civilians, the region and the world. We
Speaker 6: welcome the announced tease fire and urge all sides to
Speaker 6: effectively implement it. The Representative is engaged and has been
Speaker 6: following very closely the situation in the Middleast and retiates
Speaker 6: the EU's strong commitment to regional security, including the security
Speaker 6: of the State of Israel, and the call on all
Speaker 6: sides to abide by international law so restraint and refrained
Speaker 6: from taking further steps which could lead to serious consequences
Speaker 6: such as potential radioactive release. Man in President ensuring that
Speaker 6: Iran does not acquire or developed the nuclear weapon remains
Speaker 6: a q security priority for the European Union.
Speaker 7: IAA d G.
Speaker 6: Grossi at the end of May reported on the further
Speaker 6: expansion of enrichment capacity and operation, as well as on
Speaker 6: a sharp increase in the production of sixty percent and
Speaker 6: enriched uranium close to military levels. Iran was already far
Speaker 6: away from its j CPUA commitments. Iran chose to continue
Speaker 6: the dramatic expansion of his program at an inn alarming pace,
Speaker 6: going beyond what is possibly necessary for a civilian program.
Speaker 6: In the special session of the IA Board of Governors
Speaker 6: in twenty three June, dig Grassi raised the need to
Speaker 6: account for the stockpile of highly enriched uranium following the
Speaker 6: events of the last days. Moreover, it has been more
Speaker 6: than four years that the agency has not been able
Speaker 6: to perform all JCPUA related monitoring activities and has therefore
Speaker 6: lost the continuity of knowledge as regards several key components
Speaker 6: of the nuclear program of Iran. We continue to recognize
Speaker 6: that Iran has faced and continues facing, very serious negative
Speaker 6: economic consequences following the US's withdrawal from the JCPUA and
Speaker 6: the reimposition of previously lifted ucinlateral sanctions. The US has
Speaker 6: also gradually imposed additional sanctions linked to the nuclear program.
Speaker 6: Many efforts have been made to preserve the JESPOA, notably
Speaker 6: when the High Representative put forward a compromised text laying
Speaker 6: down the necessary steps needed for the US to return
Speaker 6: to the j CPOA and for Iran to resume the
Speaker 6: full implementation of its commitments. These efforts did not lead
Speaker 6: to the expected results, and we are now in the
Speaker 6: current situation, Madame President. In four months from now, the
Speaker 6: Security Council will no longer be seized of the Iran
Speaker 6: nuclear issue under Resolution twenty two thirty one, and we
Speaker 6: urgently need to come back to a diplomatic solution. Let
Speaker 6: us be clear in what will be the last session
Speaker 6: in this format under uns ARE twenty two thirty one,
Speaker 6: A lasting solution to the Iranian nuclear issue can only
Speaker 6: be through a negotiated deal, not military action. A fully
Speaker 6: functioning nuclear deal will be conducive to the stabilization of
Speaker 6: the whole region. Last Friday, as part of an intense
Speaker 6: diplomatic engagement, EU High Representative Callous, together with the Foreign
Speaker 6: ministers of France, Germany and the United Kingdom, met with
Speaker 6: the Uranian Foreign Minister in Geneva. They retreated the long
Speaker 6: standing concerns about Iran's expansion of its nuclear program and
Speaker 6: their discussed avenues towards a negotiated solution. The matter can
Speaker 6: only be addressed in a sustainable manner with the adequate
Speaker 6: involvement of the international community. Moreover, the IAA is and
Speaker 6: should remain the sole, impartial and independent international organization to
Speaker 6: monitor and verify the implementation of Iran's nuclear non nonpremeration commitments. Diplomacy,
Speaker 6: Madame President, must prevail. The European UNIONIGH representative will continue
Speaker 6: to contribute to all diplomatic efforts to reduce tensions and
Speaker 6: to find a lasting solution to the Iran nuclear issue.
Speaker 7: Thank you.
Speaker 3: I thank his Excellency Mister Lambernide for his briefing. I
Speaker 3: now give the floor to Ambassador Samuels Vulgar.
Speaker 8: Thank you, Madam President. I'm speaking in my capacities as
Speaker 8: the Security Council's appointed facilitator for the implementation of Resolution
Speaker 8: twenty two thirty one. The ninety Facilitator's report was agreed
Speaker 8: by Council members on twentyth June twenty twenty five. I
Speaker 8: would like to thank all Council members for their corporation
Speaker 8: and constructive engagement in this process and for the willingness
Speaker 8: to see consensus and compromise in preparing the report. As
Speaker 8: this is Lavinia's first report as facilitator since taking up
Speaker 8: the role on twenty ninth May twenty twenty five. I'm
Speaker 8: especially grateful for everyone's kind support and the extra flexibility
Speaker 8: is shown due to resulting time constraints. The report provides
Speaker 8: a factual account of the activities related to the twenty
Speaker 8: two thirty one format of the Security Council, which took
Speaker 8: place from fourteenth December twenty twenty four to twenty third
Speaker 8: June twenty twenty five. It includes several subsections, namely the
Speaker 8: summaries of activities, monitoring implementation of the resolution, relevant communications,
Speaker 8: key aspects of the workings of the Procurement Channel, as
Speaker 8: well as transparency, outreach and guidance. You may refer to
Speaker 8: the report for details, but I wish to mention the
Speaker 8: following key aspects. First one meeting of the Council in
Speaker 8: the twenty two thirty one foremat was held during this
Speaker 8: reporting period. The meeting was held on twenty third June
Speaker 8: twenty twenty five and representatives of the Security Council discussed
Speaker 8: the findings and recommendations contained in the ninetieth Report of
Speaker 8: the Secretary General on the Implementation of Resolution twenty two
Speaker 8: thirty one prior to its public release. Under Secretary General
Speaker 8: Di Carlo has already referred to this report in her statement. Second,
Speaker 8: during the reporting period, a total of nineteen notes were
Speaker 8: circulated within the twenty two thirty one format. In addition,
Speaker 8: a total of ten official communications were sent to Member
Speaker 8: States and the Coordinator of the Procurement Working Group of
Speaker 8: the Joint Commission, and a total of ten communications from
Speaker 8: member States and the Coordinator were received. Among the communications
Speaker 8: circulated to the two regular quarterly reports issued by the
Speaker 8: Terraational Atomic Energy Agency in February and May twenty twenty five.
Speaker 8: The key aspects of these agency reports are duly reflected
Speaker 8: in my report.
Speaker 9: The IEA placed.
Speaker 8: An important role in the verification and monitoring of nuclear
Speaker 8: activities in the Islamic Republic Offerral as requested under a
Speaker 8: Solution twenty two two one. The IAEA's work provides confidence
Speaker 8: for the international community that the nuclear program of the
Speaker 8: Islamic Republic of Iran is.
Speaker 9: For exclusively peaceful purposes in.
Speaker 8: Accordance with the modalities set out in the JSPOA. The
Speaker 8: reports of Director General play a significant.
Speaker 9: Role in this regard.
Speaker 8: Thirdly, I report that no new proposals were submitted to
Speaker 8: the Security Council through the Procurement Channel during the reporting period.
Speaker 8: The Procurement Channel represents a key transparency and confidence building
Speaker 8: mechanism under the JSPOA. It remains operational and the Procurement
Speaker 8: Working Groups tends ready to review proposals. Madame President, we
Speaker 8: are approaching the termination day of Resolution twenty two thirty
Speaker 8: one in October, and this may be the last report
Speaker 8: in this framework. I reiterated a joint comprehensive plan of
Speaker 8: action as indoors by this Council to Resolution twenty two
Speaker 8: toir ty one has been the best available option to
Speaker 8: ensure that the Iranian nuclear program remains exclusively peaceful. The
Speaker 8: twenty two thirty one format is obviously facing a challenging
Speaker 8: environment and the situation in the region is unfolding, as
Speaker 8: exemplified also by numerous letters submitted to the Security Council
Speaker 8: President in the last couple of weeks. I firmly believe, however,
Speaker 8: that through dialog and multilateralism, we can make the utmost
Speaker 8: effort in ensuring that the plan and Resolution twenty two
Speaker 8: thirty one are implemented efficiently, effectively, promoting mutual strust and
Speaker 8: cooperation in this regard. We hope for diplomatic efforts to
Speaker 8: find a way forward, Madame President. Finally, I would like
Speaker 8: to state that as facilitator, I will do my utmost
Speaker 8: to support implementation of Resolution twenty two thirty one under
Speaker 8: JCPOA which underpins it. My team and myself will continue
Speaker 8: to work closely with all Council members in an impartial
Speaker 8: and transparent manner to meet our shared responsibility. I look
Speaker 8: forward to further strengthening our dialogue and corporation for the
Speaker 8: remainder of our mandate.
Speaker 3: Thank you, I tank Ambassador's Bogar for his briefing. I
Speaker 3: will now give the floor to those Council members who
Speaker 3: wish to make statements. I give the floor to the
Speaker 3: Representative of the United States.
Speaker 10: Thank you, Madam President, and thank you Under Secretary General
Speaker 10: Rosmary de Carlo and Ambassador Stavros Lamborghinis for your briefings.
Speaker 10: As we reflect today on the conclusions of the Secretary
Speaker 10: General's final report on the implementation of Resolution twenty two
Speaker 10: thirty one, Iran continues to openly violate its UN obligations.
Speaker 10: Tehran has sustained its provision of arms to the Huthis
Speaker 10: in Yemen and his Bolah in Lebanon, both in violation
Speaker 10: of UN Security Council resolutions. Moreover, Iran did not comply
Speaker 10: with relevant twenty two to thirty one provisions when they
Speaker 10: were in place, as evidence by hundreds of drones it
Speaker 10: transferred to Russia in twenty twenty two for use in
Speaker 10: attacks against Ukraine. Iran's failure to uphold its non proliferation
Speaker 10: obligations has prolonged conflicts and perpetuated instability across the Middle
Speaker 10: East and beyond for many years. The International Atomic Energy
Speaker 10: agencies most recent report on Verification and Monitoring in Iran
Speaker 10: in light of UN Security Council Resolution twenty two to
Speaker 10: thirty one demonstrates plainly that Iran continued to accelerate its
Speaker 10: nuclear activities without any credible civilian justification. On June twelfth,
Speaker 10: the IAEA Board of Governors found Iran in non compliance
Speaker 10: for its many failures to uphold obligatory nuclear safeguards. It
Speaker 10: is regrettable that certain members of this Council have opted
Speaker 10: to turn a blind eye to, if not encourage, Iranian
Speaker 10: non compliance. The United States will not turn a blind
Speaker 10: eye to Iran's non compliance, end ongoing threat to regional stability,
Speaker 10: Madam President. President Trump has clearly reiterated that it is
Speaker 10: time for Iran to make peace. Despite the President's continuous
Speaker 10: good faith efforts to negotiate and resolve these issues diplomatically,
Speaker 10: Iran's leader's stonewalld and ultimately refuse to agree to a
Speaker 10: deal that would have prevented them from ever obtaining a
Speaker 10: nuclear weapon. On June twenty first, a US precision operation
Speaker 10: effectively fulfilled are narrow objective to degrade Iran's capacity to
Speaker 10: produce a nuclear weapons in accordance with the inherent right
Speaker 10: to self defense, collective self defense consistent with the UN Charter,
Speaker 10: aimed to mitigate the threat posed by Iran to Israel,
Speaker 10: the region, and to more broadly, international peace and security.
Speaker 10: Following this historic operation, President Trump immediately coordinated a ceasefire
Speaker 10: between Israel and Iran. Madam President, In this critical moment,
Speaker 10: we must all urge Iran to seize this opportunity for
Speaker 10: peace and prosperity and abide by its international obligations.
Speaker 3: I thank you, I Tank the Representative of the United
Speaker 3: States for her statement, and I give the floor to
Speaker 3: the Representative of Slovenia.
Speaker 8: Madame President thank you. I wish to thank the Undersecretary
Speaker 8: General Di Carlo for her briefing and also for nice
Speaker 8: words addressed to me and my team as facilitators of
Speaker 8: the implementation of the TIME twenty two thirty one resolution.
Speaker 8: And I want to thank also the representative of their
Speaker 8: Union for his insights, Madame President JSPOA is undoubtedly one
Speaker 8: of the greatest achievements of multilateralism.
Speaker 7: Of the past decade.
Speaker 8: A unified position amongst the key actors was a decisive factor.
Speaker 8: It brought about a robust regime that comprehensively addressed a
Speaker 8: pressing international security issue. Regrettably, it suffered its share of
Speaker 8: the trials and setbacks in recent years. To our regret,
Speaker 8: the US withdrew from it and Iran gradually made several
Speaker 8: steps away from its JCPOA commitments. Slovena remains deeply concerned
Speaker 8: by the continued alarming expansion of Iran's nuclear program. The
Speaker 8: re establishment of Iranian constructive engagement.
Speaker 9: The IEA is key and will help you run to regain.
Speaker 8: The international community's confidence about its nuclear activities. We have
Speaker 8: consistently condemned Iran's unacceptable disregard for its non proliferation obligations,
Speaker 8: including the IAEA Safeguard Agreement. Slovina has zero tolerance for
Speaker 8: nuclear proliferation. However, Slovena has also zero tolerance for attacks
Speaker 8: against nuclear infrastructure anywhere. Madame President, the Iran nuclear file
Speaker 8: is on a decidedly wrong path and we urgently need
Speaker 8: a change of pace. We welcome the announcement of a ceasefire,
Speaker 8: which is an important step towards restoring stability in the region.
Speaker 8: We join the calls to both parties to respect it.
Speaker 8: While an President, this is potentially the last regular Council
Speaker 8: meeting about the implementation of JCPOA and Resolution twenty two
Speaker 8: thirty one, it seems like an era is coming to
Speaker 8: a close, and it is uncertain what the ensuing era
Speaker 8: will bring.
Speaker 9: To develop.
Speaker 8: The latest developments in the region add the unpredictability and
Speaker 8: the raise questions about the future of not only Iran
Speaker 8: but the whole region and the nuclear non proliferation architecture.
Speaker 8: One thing is certain though, as October and the termination
Speaker 8: they are approaching, it is important to recall that jcpoa's
Speaker 8: objectives remain valid.
Speaker 7: We need diplomacy and we need it now.
Speaker 8: Thank you, Madam President.
Speaker 3: I tend to Representative of Slovenia for his statement, and
Speaker 3: I give the floor now to the Representative of Sierra Leone.
Speaker 11: I thank you, Madam President, but m President, I think
Speaker 11: on the sexy General Lose Mari di Calo for a
Speaker 11: valuable griefing. And I also thank the European Union Head
Speaker 11: of Delegation to the United Nations, His Excellency Saves Lambrianis,
Speaker 11: and Ambassador Samuels Poger, the United Nations Security Council Facilitator
Speaker 11: for the implementation of Resolution twenty two thirty one, for
Speaker 11: the important remarks and valuable contributions. We welcome the Sector
Speaker 11: Journal's report, which we have firms that diplomacy remains the
Speaker 11: best and indeed the only viable part for addressing concerns
Speaker 11: relating to nuclear program and regional security. We are deeply
Speaker 11: concerned by report of Iran's decision to enrich reunion beyond
Speaker 11: research greate thresholds in contravention of its obligations on the
Speaker 11: Article Free of the NPT. Such enrichment risks erode in
Speaker 11: confidence in the exclusively peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear activities
Speaker 11: and raises legitimate questions regarding compliance with its safeguards.
Speaker 9: Commitment.
Speaker 11: These concerns, we insist must be addressed within the emputy
Speaker 11: framework and in full compliance with international law, including the
Speaker 11: Charter of the United Nations. We call on Iran to
Speaker 11: store full transparency by installing all ia monitoring equipment, concluding
Speaker 11: the Additional Protocol without delay, continuing cooperation with the IAEA,
Speaker 11: and granting the Agency on hidden access to all nuclear facilities.
Speaker 11: Security Council Resolution twenty two thirty one remains the principal
Speaker 11: non prolification framework for Iran. Its provisions regarding nuclear related transfers,
Speaker 11: verification measures, and the procumming Channel will sunset on eighteenth
Speaker 11: October twenty twenty five. A failure to achieve measurable progress
Speaker 11: by that date would weaken the Council's authority, undermine the
Speaker 11: global non prolification architecture, and erode confidence in the MPTY
Speaker 11: three pillars non Policlification, disarmarament and Peaceful use of nuclear energy.
Speaker 7: So long affirms it on.
Speaker 11: Waving support for the IE's verification mandate, an under scoding
Speaker 11: perative of protecting safeguard nuclear safeguarded nuclear facilities. Safeguarded nuclear
Speaker 11: installations have exclusively peaceful purposes and most remain inviolable. International
Speaker 11: humanitarian law obliges all parties to refer from attacks on
Speaker 11: such facilities, the distruction of which could release azardults materials
Speaker 11: with devastating consequences for civilians and environment. Should further strikes
Speaker 11: occur on safeguarded nuclear facilities, this Council must be prepared
Speaker 11: to act decisively in the discharge of its primary responsibility
Speaker 11: to maintain international peace and security. Madame President Celin comments
Speaker 11: the JCPO coordinators continued effort to engage all participants, including
Speaker 11: the United States, in pursuit of full implementation of the plan.
Speaker 11: We welcome the full new notifications under ann XPEE of
Speaker 11: Resolution twenty two thirty one, which reflect ongoing legitimate nuclear corporation.
Speaker 11: We call on all states to safeguard the integrity of
Speaker 11: the procurement channel and to refrain from any actions that
Speaker 11: might undermine DICIPO a commitment or jeopardize the diplomatic momentum
Speaker 11: vital to non prolification efforts to advance Resolution twenty two
Speaker 11: thirty one, strengthen the mpity and avert for the escalation.
Speaker 11: Selem proposes a fulling five point as a good map. First,
Speaker 11: we respect to the ongoing conflict and which I shall
Speaker 11: return to shortly. We urge the augent's need for a
Speaker 11: comprehensive cease fire, an immediate cization of all reciprocal strikes,
Speaker 11: and sustain measures to de escalate tensions and return to dialogue.
Speaker 11: We welcome the announcement of a cease fire reported reach
Speaker 11: between Israel and Iran as announced by President Donald Trump
Speaker 11: of the United States, and may urge the parties to
Speaker 11: demonstrate good faith and fully comply with disagreement. Second, full
Speaker 11: and unixcated IE verification consistent with AMPUTI save Guards, including
Speaker 11: the prompt reactivation of all monetary equipment and comprehensive application
Speaker 11: of all additional protocol. Third, the revival of the joint
Speaker 11: Comprehensive Plan of Action to sustain coordinated diplomacy involving the
Speaker 11: E three, Iran, the United States and Regional Partners partners. Fourth,
Speaker 11: continued operation of the Procurement Channel and calibrated sanctioned relief
Speaker 11: linked to verifiable compliance as a means of building confidence
Speaker 11: in legitimate, peaceful nuclear trade. Fifth, and finally, the exploration
Speaker 11: of additional confidence building measures, including IE supervised fuel swaps,
Speaker 11: an intensified regional dialogue aim at establishing a Middle East
Speaker 11: zone free of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction.
Speaker 11: Madame President, turning briefly to the ongoing conflict between Israel
Speaker 11: and Iran with the involvement of the United States, sclely
Speaker 11: calls a statement of twenty and twenty second June twenty
Speaker 11: twenty five, in which we caution that recent military escalation
Speaker 11: as gravely on the mind diplomatic effort essential to diffuse
Speaker 11: in this crisis. We're equally concerned by Iran's missile strikes
Speaker 11: on twenty third June against a United States military base
Speaker 11: in Kata. While Katter's air defenses successfully intercepted the missiles
Speaker 11: as reported and prevented casualties, these attacks grigged regional airspace
Speaker 11: closures and heighting instability. Such actions could imperial diplomatic channels
Speaker 11: and risks drawing additional actors into a broader regional conflict.
Speaker 11: We continue to retigate the centrality of Article two four
Speaker 11: of the UN Charter and stress that no reliance on
Speaker 11: Article fifty one can justify violations of this fundamental prohibition
Speaker 11: on the use of force. On this International Day of
Speaker 11: Women in Diplomacy, we join in echoing a sexual General's
Speaker 11: call to an I coulte give peace a chance end
Speaker 11: of court through an immediacys fire, the escalation, sustained diplomacy
Speaker 11: and the urgent resumption of negotiations enclosing Madam precedent on
Speaker 11: the scores the imperative of upholding the un chatter in
Speaker 11: good faith, particularly Articles two twenty five and one or three,
Speaker 11: which enshrine the primacy of peaceful dispute resolution and the
Speaker 11: binding nature of Council's decision in this regard. With the
Speaker 11: sunset of Resolution twenty two thirty one looming on eighteenth
Speaker 11: October twenty twenty five, the clock is ticking. Member State
Speaker 11: must now rise to the challenge and demonstrate the state
Speaker 11: craft demanded by the Charter's obligation. This moment must be
Speaker 11: ceased to enforce the global non qualification regim advance disarmament,
Speaker 11: facilitate peaceful nuclear corporations, and we affirmed a collective commitment
Speaker 11: under the MPT.
Speaker 7: The alternative is simply unthinkable.
Speaker 3: I thank you, I thank the Representative of serially On
Speaker 3: for his statement, and I give the flow to the
Speaker 3: Representative of Somalia.
Speaker 12: Thank you for them present.
Speaker 9: At the outset.
Speaker 12: We would like to thank and the Secretary Journal de
Speaker 12: carlo An Numbers War and the Reduce for the briefings.
Speaker 12: We appreciate their continuing efforts to support the imprimation of
Speaker 12: Resolution two two three one of two zero one five
Speaker 12: and the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action KCPOA. We take
Speaker 12: out of the Secretary General's nineteenth reports on the implementation
Speaker 12: of Resolution two to three one of twenty fifteen and
Speaker 12: the Joint Commission's Report on the status of the Procurbent
Speaker 12: Work Group Decisions Madame President, Resolution two two three one
Speaker 12: and the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action represents significant achievements
Speaker 12: of multilateral deplovacy, and we continue to view them as
Speaker 12: vital pillars for regional and international.
Speaker 7: Peace and security.
Speaker 12: We note with concern the findings of Secretary Journal's nineteenth
Speaker 12: Report and the Facilitated six quarter Report, which highlight the
Speaker 12: ongoing challenges facing the full implementation of the yac POA.
Speaker 12: This briefing takes place in a deeply dangerous context, where
Speaker 12: recent developments have shifted focus away from diplomatic efforts to
Speaker 12: address the Iranian nuclear program, the evolving JEOB political landscape
Speaker 12: in the Middle East, and has caused the critical importers
Speaker 12: of Resolution two two three one in preventing further escalation
Speaker 12: and weapons advanced the structure poliferation in the region. Madame
Speaker 12: President so Walia welcomes the reason ceisfire between Israel and
Speaker 12: Iran and aid all parties to full respect.
Speaker 7: Of a wide wide.
Speaker 12: This development is a positive step towards reducing tensions in
Speaker 12: the region and demonstrates the potential for diplomacy even eachality circumstances.
Speaker 12: Our delegation encourages all stakeholders to exercise a maximum restraint
Speaker 12: and to avoid actions that could further escalate tensions. We
Speaker 12: are particularly concerned by the humanitarian coss sequences of recent escalations,
Speaker 12: which have resulted in the loss of civilian lives and damage.
Speaker 9: To critical infrastrate.
Speaker 12: Our delegation accused the Secretary General's call for immediate de
Speaker 12: escalations and added all parties to prioritize diplomacy and dialogue
Speaker 12: over confrontation. Somalia colege the divergent perspectives among Council members
Speaker 12: and the ACPOA participants regarding the causes of the current impulse.
Speaker 12: We believe that mutual respect, patience, and a general commitment
Speaker 12: to dialogue is sessial to overcoming these differences. The international
Speaker 12: community must remain united in its support for the peaceful
Speaker 12: resolution of disputes and the pre of the non proliferation regime.
Speaker 12: As the explanation dates of Resolution two to.
Speaker 9: Three one approach.
Speaker 12: We encourage all member states to continue engaging constructively and
Speaker 12: transparently in support of the JACPO A.
Speaker 2: By the President.
Speaker 12: Somalia believes that am balanced approach which addresses the concerns
Speaker 12: all parties is essential to resolving the current situation. To conclude,
Speaker 12: Somalia reiterates its unswerving support for the ACPOA Resolution two
Speaker 12: two three one. We call up for all parties to
Speaker 12: read double their diplomatic efforts to address outstanding issues in
Speaker 12: good faith and to work collectively towards a peaceful and
Speaker 12: sustainable solution that enhances security for the region and the world.
Speaker 7: Thank you, I thank you.
Speaker 3: I thank the Representative of Somalia for his statement, and
Speaker 3: I give the floor now to the Representative of the
Speaker 3: Republic of Korea.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Madam President. I extend my gratitude to USG. Rosemary,
Speaker 2: to Caroline and the Ambassador L'mbrindiz for their briefings. I
Speaker 2: also appreciate the Permanent Representative of Slovenia for his role
Speaker 2: as the new.
Speaker 7: Facilitator at the outset.
Speaker 2: The Republic of Korea truly welcomes the announced that cisfire
Speaker 2: between Iran and Desire. We comm and the Party is
Speaker 2: concerned for exercising restraint and choosing the path of the
Speaker 2: escalation at a perilous moment when conflicts could.
Speaker 7: Have further escalated.
Speaker 2: As a Secrecy General has rightly pointed out pointed out
Speaker 2: in this chamber, the core issue underlying this conflict is
Speaker 2: the nuclear question, and the significant trust gap has long
Speaker 2: existed with respect to Iran's nuclear program. Our shared concerns
Speaker 2: on Iran's nuclear program and outstanding NPT safeguards issues remain unaddressed.
Speaker 2: The latest IAEA reports have indicated Iran's continuous and rapid
Speaker 2: expansion of its uranium enrichment activities, and the IAEA Director
Speaker 2: General's comprehensive assessment has concluded that the agency is not
Speaker 2: in a position to verify that Iran's nuclear program is
Speaker 2: exclusively peaceful. Consequently, the IAEA Board of Governors adopted the
Speaker 2: Resolution on Iran's Outstanding Safeguard Issues Madame President. As a
Speaker 2: result of this persistent trust gap, which Iran has long
Speaker 2: dismissed and failed to properly address, we have witnessed a
Speaker 2: military conflict unfold over the past twelve days, which has
Speaker 2: been a source of grave concern for US. We now
Speaker 2: find ourselves entering a new phase. Nevertheless, we note that
Speaker 2: even after the ceasefire, the limited availability of relevant information
Speaker 2: is causing considerable uncertainty. This uncertainty makes it challenging to
Speaker 2: accurately assess the situation on the ground and to consider
Speaker 2: the appropriate path forward. And precisely because of such uncertainties,
Speaker 2: our objective, as embodied in Resolution twenty to thirty one,
Speaker 2: remains unchanged. We have consistency worked to ensure the exclusively
Speaker 2: peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear activities. To this end, it
Speaker 2: is critical that the IAEA is monitoring and the verification
Speaker 2: activities continue without hindrance. As a first step, we therefore
Speaker 2: expect Iran to fully guarantee the IAEA is unhindered access
Speaker 2: in the aftermath of the ceasefire. This will also enable
Speaker 2: the agency to promptly resume its monitoring and the verification
Speaker 2: activities in Iran in accordance with its mandate on nuclear safety,
Speaker 2: security and safeguards, Madame President, while the Iranian nuclear issue
Speaker 2: remains unresolved, we note with the concern that Security Council
Speaker 2: Resolution twenty to thirty one is set to expire this
Speaker 2: October without further action. The answer is a direct mandate
Speaker 2: on the Iranian nuclear file will lapse.
Speaker 7: In this regard with.
Speaker 2: STRONI urge Iran to ensure full and the transparent cooperation
Speaker 2: with the IAEA. The Republic of Korea fully supports. The
Speaker 2: agency is a pivotal role in this important process. Based
Speaker 2: on the IAEA is a reliable, reliable information. We trust
Speaker 2: that the Council will be able to make an informed
Speaker 2: and responsible decision.
Speaker 7: Thank you.
Speaker 3: I tend the Representative of the Republic of Korea for
Speaker 3: his statement, and I give the floor to the Representative
Speaker 3: of France.
Speaker 13: Thank you very much, Madam President. I would like to
Speaker 13: thank the USG for political and peace building a fairs,
Speaker 13: Miss Rosemary de Carlo, the Delegate of the EU, Mister
Speaker 13: Stavros lamp Needs, and our colleague, the Permanent Representative of
Speaker 13: Slavinia as facilitator for the implementation of RESIS twenty two
Speaker 13: thirty one, I think, for their briefings They've reminded us
Speaker 13: of the seriousness of the events we've just lived through
Speaker 13: and the seriousness of the way in which Iran has
Speaker 13: been managing its nuclear program for many years. Firstly, Madame
Speaker 13: France welcomes the announcement by the United States of a
Speaker 13: ceasefire between Israel and Iran. Since the thirteenth of June,
Speaker 13: we followed with concern the strikes, the exchanges between Iran
Speaker 13: and Israel, and then the US strikes against three Iranian
Speaker 13: and nuclear facilities. There is a major risk for escalation,
Speaker 13: which could have serious consequences for regional stability. The seasefire
Speaker 13: must now lead to a complete cessation of hostilities, which
Speaker 13: we call on all parties to respect. It is in
Speaker 13: the interest of everyone to avoid a new cycle of violence.
Speaker 13: The ceasefire must allow for the resumption of negotiations on
Speaker 13: the Iranian nuclear issue and on all of the security
Speaker 13: challenges posed by Iran, and that is why we call
Speaker 13: The Minister of Foreign Affairs with the British, EU and
Speaker 13: UK counterparts, has contacted the Iranian Foreign Minister in Geneva
Speaker 13: last Friday.
Speaker 9: Opposition is clear.
Speaker 13: The nuclear Iranian position can only be or issue can
Speaker 13: only be resolved through diplomatic means. Given the risk of
Speaker 13: proliferation and threats to international peace and security, it is
Speaker 13: essential for this Security Council to remain seized of this matter.
Speaker 13: Madam President, While we are meeting to consider the implementation
Speaker 13: of Resolution twenty two to thirty one a few months
Speaker 13: prior to its expiration, we must recall the development events
Speaker 13: which have led to the current situation with a point
Speaker 13: back to two thousand and three. The nuclear issue is
Speaker 13: the very reason dead of the twenty fifteen agreement with
Speaker 13: the E three plus three, as well as Resolution twenty
Speaker 13: two to thirty one, through which this Council had endorsed
Speaker 13: this agreement. Since then, the Europeans have continued to implement
Speaker 13: their commitments under the agreement, including after following the withdrawal
Speaker 13: of the United States in twenty eighteen. Iran has taken
Speaker 13: the responsibility in twenty nineteen of ceasing to implement its commitments.
Speaker 13: As you will recall, we use the mechanism for dispute
Speaker 13: settlements under the agreement. The three then carried out diplomatic
Speaker 13: efforts to achieve the return of the US to the
Speaker 13: agreement and to bring Iran to respect its commitments and
Speaker 13: in point of fact, in twenty and twenty two Iran
Speaker 13: had two revised proposals, and we regret the fact that
Speaker 13: these opportunities were missed. In recent years, Iran, on the contrary,
Speaker 13: has become engaged in an escalation of its nuclear program.
Speaker 13: It has almost exceeded the limits under the agreement. By
Speaker 13: the end of twenty twenty five, these uranium stocks in
Speaker 13: Iran was forty times above the limits set under the agreement.
Speaker 9: That includes.
Speaker 13: More than four hundred highly enriched kilograms of uranium. The
Speaker 13: enrichment to this level there has no credible civilian use,
Speaker 13: and the Director General of the IAE has underscored the
Speaker 13: fact that Iran was the only non nuclear weapons state
Speaker 13: to enrich uranium to that level. According to the IAEA,
Speaker 13: Iran would have nine significant amounts, that is, nine times
Speaker 13: the quantity of material from which a nuclear weapon could
Speaker 13: be developed. This escalation has led to serious doubts about
Speaker 13: the nature of the Iranian nuclear program, and the Director
Speaker 13: General of the ia himself has said that he was
Speaker 13: not in a position to guarantee the peaceful nature, and
Speaker 13: a resolution adopted on the twelfth of June by the
Speaker 13: Board of Governors acknowledged the violation of that agreement by Iran.
Speaker 13: Over the years, Iran has at the same time pursued
Speaker 13: its ballistic missile program, which could be used as a
Speaker 13: vector for nuclear weapons. Iran has refused any substantial cooper
Speaker 13: with EU, and it has removed the monitoring equipment that
Speaker 13: was established and removed their accreditation the accreditation from some
Speaker 13: of the experts. Because of these obstacles, the agency no
Speaker 13: longer has continued knowledge of all of the Iranian nuclear programs.
Speaker 13: Iran has multiplied its disturbing threats to leave the NPT.
Speaker 13: We would call on Iran to resume full cooperation with
Speaker 13: the agency and in particular to allow for access as
Speaker 13: soon as possible to its nuclear facility. It is essential
Speaker 13: for the Agency to determine that the uranium stocks have
Speaker 13: not been moved, and we express our support for the
Speaker 13: Director General of the IAE and for the teams carrying
Speaker 13: out their activities with professionalism and impartiality. Access by Iran
Speaker 13: to nuclear weapons would threaten international and regional peace and security.
Speaker 13: It endangers the integrity of the non proliferation regime. Namely,
Speaker 13: the Iranian issue. Continue used to deserve the concern of
Speaker 13: the Council on the eighteenth of October, the twenty twenty
Speaker 13: five Resolution twenty two thirty one will come to an end.
Speaker 13: We call on Iran to return to dialogue so that
Speaker 13: we can find a robust, verifiable and lasting diplomatical solution
Speaker 13: responding to all legitimate concerns of the international community on
Speaker 13: the Iranian nuclear program. France, with the EU and the
Speaker 13: three in close cooperation with the United States, will remain
Speaker 13: mobilized to that end, and we are determined to conclude
Speaker 13: an agreement which will take account of the non proliferation regime,
Speaker 13: regional stability and European security interests. France and its EU
Speaker 13: partners will remain mobilized under Resolution twenty two to thirty
Speaker 13: one the snack back provision if such an agreement were
Speaker 13: not to be found by the summer. Since two thousand
Speaker 13: and three, we have sought a diplomatic solution to guarantee
Speaker 13: in the long term the possibility of.
Speaker 9: Ir not having a nuclear problem.
Speaker 13: That remains our priority.
Speaker 3: Thank you the Representative of France for his statement, and
Speaker 3: I give the floor to the representative of Panama GA.
Speaker 13: Thank you, Madam President. We greet and thank the US
Speaker 13: Chief for Political and Peace Building Affairs, Miss Rosemary de Carlo,
Speaker 13: the Head of Delegation of the EU to the United Nations,
Speaker 13: Mister Stavros Lambrinidis, and the Facilitator for the Implementation of
Speaker 13: Resident twenty two thirty one at the Security Council, Ambassador
Speaker 13: Samuel Spogard. We've heard with interest and hope the announced
Speaker 13: intentions for ceasefire between Israel and Duran. We believe that
Speaker 13: this possibility will be a valuable opportunity for reducing tensions
Speaker 13: and for creating room for dialogue and peace. We hope
Speaker 13: that this ceasefire will be the first step towards broader negotiations,
Speaker 13: which will lead to progress and lasting solutions and contribute
Speaker 13: to stability for the entire region. Panama takes note of
Speaker 13: the report introduced by the Facilitator on the implementation of
Speaker 13: Residution twenty two thirty one, and we are grateful for
Speaker 13: his efforts in preparing the report. At the same time,
Speaker 13: we have carefully read the nineteenth Report of the Secretary
Speaker 13: General and we share his concern at the critical regional
Speaker 13: situation which currently surrounds the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
Speaker 13: We acknowledge the value of multilateral nuclear agreements and see
Speaker 13: them as essential pillars for international peace and security. The
Speaker 13: JCPO way was undoubtedly one of the greatest achievements of
Speaker 13: multilateralism in the field of non proliferation. To take up
Speaker 13: this mechanism and to give it yet another chance, is
Speaker 13: to reaffirm our commitment to diplomacy. We remained concerned at
Speaker 13: the fact that the provisions of Resolution twenty two thirty
Speaker 13: one will expire on the eighteenth of October of twenty
Speaker 13: twenty five, and despite that deadline, the goals both of
Speaker 13: the resolution and the plan have not yet been fully met.
Speaker 13: At the same time, we are concerned that IAEA verification
Speaker 13: and monitoring related to the JCPOA have been seriously impacted
Speaker 13: by Iran's non compliance, as reported in the most recent
Speaker 13: report of the Director General of the IAEA. In this context,
Speaker 13: we reiterate that our position, based on the fundamental principles
Speaker 13: of Panama's foreign policy, is to give priority to strengthening
Speaker 13: the global non proliferation regime, to ensure respect for that
Speaker 13: multilateral architecture, and to promote die and diplomacy as a
Speaker 13: means for reducing tensions and strategic risks. However, we cannot
Speaker 13: ignore the most recent events which have merely worsened the
Speaker 13: already fragile trust and has led to serious concerns about
Speaker 13: the Iranian nuclear program, as well as the issue of
Speaker 13: compliance with internationally agreed commitments. The IAEA has warned in
Speaker 13: its resolutions that attacks on nuclear facilities represent a significant
Speaker 13: risk because it could lead to the release of radioactive material.
Speaker 13: At this critical juncture, we appeal to Iran to allow
Speaker 13: the monitoring and verification of its facilities by the personnel
Speaker 13: of the IEA. It is also essential to understand the
Speaker 13: magnitude and the scale of damage caused by the most
Speaker 13: recent attacks, with the views expressed by the Director General
Speaker 13: of the IAEA, Raphael Grosies and Iquot, Establishing the facts
Speaker 13: on the ground is a prerequisite for any agreement and
Speaker 13: that can only be achieved through IAEA inspections close quotes.
Speaker 13: At the same time, we urge Iran to comply fully
Speaker 13: with its commitments under the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty as
Speaker 13: well as the Safeguard's Agreement and the provisions of Residustion
Speaker 13: twenty two thirty one by this Council, particularly given the
Speaker 13: possibility that enriched uranium has been moved without DUIAEA supervision.
Speaker 13: We cannot allow a weakening in the non proliferation architecture.
Speaker 13: That architecture has provided greatest guarantees for international stability and
Speaker 13: security and significantly reduced the risk of new clear weapons
Speaker 13: becoming a source of confrontational conflict. In this context, it
Speaker 13: is urgent for the parties to resume negotiations and to
Speaker 13: make full use of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action
Speaker 13: Resolution twenty two thirty one of this Security Council, as
Speaker 13: well as of bilateral mechanisms established to make progress towards
Speaker 13: regional and global stability and security.
Speaker 3: Thank you, I thank the Representative of Panama for his statement,
Speaker 3: and I give the floor to the Representative of Algeria.
Speaker 14: Madame President. I thank you Su Di Carlo and Ambassadors s.
Speaker 14: Bogart and Lambrindinis Lambrinidis for their comprehensive briefings. The Council
Speaker 14: convenes today on the implementation of Resolution twenty two one
Speaker 14: of two thousand and fifteen, which endorsed the Joint Comprehensive
Speaker 14: Plan of Action on Iran's nuclear program. And this is
Speaker 14: our last briefing on the implementation of this resolution, which
Speaker 14: expires on October this year. Needless to stress that this
Speaker 14: meeting comes at a critical juncture.
Speaker 7: We meet with.
Speaker 14: Cautious optimism but real relief following the announcement of ceasefire
Speaker 14: between Iran and Israel, brockered by the United States and Katar.
Speaker 14: We welcome this important diplomatic achievement, which puts an end
Speaker 14: to fifteen to twelve days of dangerous escalation and provides
Speaker 14: much needed space for the escalation.
Speaker 7: Dialogue and diplomacy.
Speaker 14: This latest episode has starkly demonstrated the fragility of our
Speaker 14: collective security and the serious risks associated with the targeting
Speaker 14: of nuclear facilities, particularly those and their IAEA safeguards. The
Speaker 14: events of the past days have only reinforced the urgent
Speaker 14: need to called the principles of the nuclear non Proliferation
Speaker 14: Regime and to refrain from any actions that could further
Speaker 14: undermine its integrity. Madn President. While this is fire represent
Speaker 14: really a positive development, it also serves a reminder of
Speaker 14: the critical importance of respecting international legal norms, including including
Speaker 14: those enshrined in the IAEA safeguard system. These safeguards are
Speaker 14: central to ensuring that nuclear energy is used exclusively for
Speaker 14: peaceful purposes. In this regard the importance. In this regard,
Speaker 14: we reiterate the importance of the full and balanced implementation
Speaker 14: of the GCPOA by all parties. Should I add, including
Speaker 14: including its provisions related to the lifting of sanctions, It
Speaker 14: remains a key component and offers a practical framework for
Speaker 14: addressing concerns related to Iran's nuclear program through dialogue, transparency
Speaker 14: and verification. As the Secretary General of the United Nations
Speaker 14: stated in his report, diplomacy remains the best and only
Speaker 14: way to address concerns regarding erans nuclear program and regional
Speaker 14: security issues. About the regional security issues, may I underscore
Speaker 14: the urgency of establishing a zone free of nuclear weapons
Speaker 14: and all other weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East.
Speaker 14: Such a zone would represent a major stape a major
Speaker 14: step forward for regional and international peace and security. In
Speaker 14: this context, we recall Security COUNTSIL Resolution for eight seven,
Speaker 14: which called on Israel to place its nuclear installation under
Speaker 14: IAEA safeguards. More than four decades later, this call remained ignored,
Speaker 14: ann answered and fulfilled. Madam President, to conclude, the announced
Speaker 14: cease fire provides a valuable opportunity to reinforce the norms
Speaker 14: that underpin the global non proliferation regime without selectivity, without
Speaker 14: double standard. Algeria stands ready to work with all partners
Speaker 14: to uphold international law and to strengthen the antegrity of
Speaker 14: the global non proliferation regime, a corner stone of our
Speaker 14: shared security.
Speaker 3: I thank you, thank the Representative of Algeria for her statement.
Speaker 3: Then I give the floor to the Representative of the
Speaker 3: Russian Federation.
Speaker 15: Madam President. We think Missus Terry General was Mary Ja
Speaker 15: Carlo and Security Council Facilitator for the implementation of seween
Speaker 15: thirty one, Thetive of Slovenia Semi wosh Burger, and we
Speaker 15: also congratulate our Slovinian colleagues on the unanimous adoption of
Speaker 15: the six month report of the Facilitator and count under
Speaker 15: continued efforts to support the activities under the twenty thirty
Speaker 15: one format until its schedule conclusion in October twenty twenty five.
Speaker 15: We've listened to the Head of Delegation of the EU,
Speaker 15: Stavros Lambrinides, Madame President. In the night of June twelfth
Speaker 15: to thirteenth, member states of the parties to the NPT
Speaker 15: carried out unprovoked aggression, bringing the world to the brink
Speaker 15: of nuclear disaster. The Russian Federation strongly condemns the attacks
Speaker 15: on Iran, including its peaceful nuclear infrastructure, which is subject
Speaker 15: to IEA safeguards. The actions of the US and Israel
Speaker 15: directly violated the UN Charter Security Council resolutions including four
Speaker 15: eighty seven and twenty two thirty one, which we are
Speaker 15: discussing today, as well as the Charter of the IAEA
Speaker 15: and relevant resolutions of the IEA General Conference. They constitute
Speaker 15: a direct and very dangerous challenge to the authority of
Speaker 15: the NPT, especially Iran's right guarantee under Article four of
Speaker 15: the Treaty to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, including
Speaker 15: uranium enrichment. And this was a major blow to the
Speaker 15: non proliferation regime. And all of these actions were carried
Speaker 15: out by two states, one of which the depository of
Speaker 15: the NPT, while the other for decades has refused to
Speaker 15: accede to this crucial element of international security and has
Speaker 15: refused to subject its nuclear activities to ia safeguards.
Speaker 13: By the way, we are.
Speaker 15: Bit surprised at Israel's request to take part in our meeting,
Speaker 15: which is taking place under the item non proliferation. We
Speaker 15: would like to believe that this decision hints at a
Speaker 15: potential accession of this country to the NPT, which the interital.
Speaker 7: Would love to see.
Speaker 15: Colleagues attacking Iranian infrastructure, including enterprises involved in the nuclear
Speaker 15: fuel cycle, creates a real threat of radiological consequences which
Speaker 15: could affect not only audience, but the entire Middle East.
Speaker 15: All of this, unfortunately again, happened not just with the
Speaker 15: Tacit consent, but with the approval of the UK, France
Speaker 15: and Germany, which continued to consider themselves full fledged parties
Speaker 15: to the JCPOA. Their assurances of their commitment to a
Speaker 15: diplomatic solution to the Iranian nuclear program inspired little confidence before,
Speaker 15: but currently they are absolutely impossible to take seriously. Judge
Speaker 15: for yourself that first, these countries deliberately refused to uphold
Speaker 15: their obligations under the nuclear deal by not providing necessary
Speaker 15: conditions for ensuring economic benefits from the lifting of European
Speaker 15: sanctions against Iran, which were in effect till twenty fifteen.
Speaker 15: And then they followed in the footsteps of the US,
Speaker 15: which withdrew from the JCPOA in twenty eighteen and renewed
Speaker 15: their unilateral sanctions pressure on Tehran, thus precluding any prospect
Speaker 15: of a full restoration of the jcpoa toward which our
Speaker 15: Iranian colleagues had repeatedly expressed their openness. At the same time, Berlin,
Speaker 15: London and Paris attempted to portray Iran's legitimate retaliatory measures,
Speaker 15: which date themselves Berlin, London and Paris provoked as unleashing
Speaker 15: some imaginary Iranian nuclear threat. They repeatedly attempted to undermine
Speaker 15: the cooperation between Iran and the IA Secretariat, which included
Speaker 15: efforts to settle unresolved questions, and even in spite of that,
Speaker 15: Iran remained and remains the most rigorously verified state out
Speaker 15: of all the members of the IEA, and the General
Speaker 15: Director General of the IEA's reports clearly indicate the lack
Speaker 15: of any proliferation risk. Here I emphasize that the IA's
Speaker 15: reports in nowhere mentioned the conversion of Iran's nuclear material
Speaker 15: for military purposes or for any undeclared purposes. So the
Speaker 15: IEA has observed no signs that Iran is developing a
Speaker 15: nuclear weapon. Therefore, all of the assertions of our Western
Speaker 15: colleagues to the contrary are falsehoods calculated for an audience
Speaker 15: that has not read these reports or that did not
Speaker 15: understand this issue. The cynicism and hypocrisy of our Western
Speaker 15: colleagues reached a peak on June twelfth. On that day,
Speaker 15: the IEA Board of Governors adopted yet another puffed up
Speaker 15: resolution on Iran, divorced from reality and inspired by Western countries.
Speaker 15: Immediately afterward, Israel carried out strikes against Iran's peaceful nuclear sites.
Speaker 15: A week later, the sovereigntary wave of Iran was attacked
Speaker 15: by the US, and this demonstrates that what said this
Speaker 15: one to two punch was agreed upon ahead of time.
Speaker 15: The UK and France, which claimed to be champions of diplomacy,
Speaker 15: rushed to defend the aggression of Jews limb in Washington.
Speaker 15: As a result, last Sunday we witness another attempt to
Speaker 15: legitimize the use of force and contravention of the UN
Speaker 15: Charter and strikes on peaceful nuclear facilities in violation of
Speaker 15: the IAEA Charter and all norms of nuclear safety and security.
Speaker 15: And German Chancellor Friedrich Mertz even made so boldness to
Speaker 15: cynically remark, as he already mentioned, that Israel is doing
Speaker 15: the European's dirty work. These are the actual words of
Speaker 15: a head of government of a state party to the JCPOA.
Speaker 15: We must not forget that West Jerusalem began its operation
Speaker 15: two days before a scheduled round of Iran US talks
Speaker 15: on the nuclear issue mediated by Oman, with the clear
Speaker 15: intention of sabotaging this process. Against this backdrop, the Western
Speaker 15: Trio even had the audacity to call not for Israel
Speaker 15: and the US, but for Tehran, the victim of aggression,
Speaker 15: to return to the negotiating table. If our British, French
Speaker 15: and German colleagues continued to threaten launching this resolution twenty
Speaker 15: thirty one, that is, mechanism of sanctions by the Security
Speaker 15: Council on Iran, it like to remind them that there's
Speaker 15: no political, legal or procedural basis for this. Berlin, London
Speaker 15: and Paris have chronically violated this resolution and the JCPOA,
Speaker 15: and therefore did not have the right to engage this mechanism,
Speaker 15: and the US no longer has any pasis to do
Speaker 15: so since it withdrew from the agreement. The Vienna mechanism
Speaker 15: for dispute the settlement still has not been engaged. The US,
Speaker 15: the UK, France and Germany do not have the moral
Speaker 15: right to mention this. It is their actions that truly
Speaker 15: have betrayed diplomacy and have led to the current situation,
Speaker 15: Madam President, sexual responsibility in this regard lies with the
Speaker 15: IAEA Secretariat. Given the infringement by Israel on the US
Speaker 15: and the global nuclear proliferation regime which forms the basis
Speaker 15: for the NPT, Directorate General and his colleagues are obligated
Speaker 15: to uphold their mandate as well as the solutions of
Speaker 15: the General Conference four forty four and five point thirty three.
Speaker 15: The ie leadership must not content itself with evasive language
Speaker 15: and fragmented information, but rather provide detailed reports on the
Speaker 15: attacks against Iranian nuclear facilities under IAEA safeguards. At the
Speaker 15: same time, it's extremely important to call things by their
Speaker 15: names and directly indicate who exactly carried out targeted attacks
Speaker 15: in violation of the charges of the UN and IEA
Speaker 15: and resolutions of the Security Council and General Conference of
Speaker 15: the IEA. Unfortunately, we've already seen that what happens that
Speaker 15: the Director General of the IEA includes sometimes subjective judgments
Speaker 15: alongside facts and statistics in his reports, and these are
Speaker 15: then used by a certain number of countries to justify
Speaker 15: their unprovoked aggression, Madam President, the Iranian nuclear program can
Speaker 15: only be resolved through diplomacy, through negotiated solutions which are
Speaker 15: based on international law and the principle of equal and
Speaker 15: indivisible security. The Russian Federation consistently has supported a peaceful
Speaker 15: solution to the concerns surrounding the Iranian nuclear program, which
Speaker 15: is acceptible to all parties as well as the interaction
Speaker 15: community as a whole. Here, the greatest responsibility lays lies
Speaker 15: on the UN Security Council, which is obligated to take
Speaker 15: the requisite measures. This is the goal of the draft
Speaker 15: resolution proposed by Russia together with our Chinese and Pakistani partners.
Speaker 15: Today we are proposing to our Council colleagues an updated
Speaker 15: text that takes into account latest developments and aims to
Speaker 15: bring about a lasting ceasefire as well as oversight of
Speaker 15: that ceasfi by the Security count and so through Secretary
Speaker 15: General reporting. The JCPA Way and Restlution twenty two thirty one,
Speaker 15: adopted in twenty fifteen, demonstrated that the international community at
Speaker 15: that time rejected the military approach and clearly chose diplomacy instead.
Speaker 15: Today we must make the same choice again without delay.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 3: I thank the Representative of the Russian Federation for his statement,
Speaker 3: and I gave the floor to the Representative of Greece.
Speaker 16: Thank you, Madam President. I would like to thank an
Speaker 16: the Secretary General Mister Carlo, the head of the U delegation,
Speaker 16: Mister Labernidis for the informative and timely briefing. I would
Speaker 16: also like to comment a Slovenian colleague, Abassadorspoger and his
Speaker 16: team for their efforts in timely compiling the facilitators report.
Speaker 16: But a President, first of all, I would like to
Speaker 16: welcome President Trump's announcement of a ceasefire agreement, also commanding
Speaker 16: the mediating efforts by the US and Katar. It is
Speaker 16: a necessary first step towards sustainable security, which would only
Speaker 16: be achieved through the plomacy and negotiated deal that would
Speaker 16: address all proliferation risks and guarantee the security of all
Speaker 16: countries of the region. Madam President, on today issue of
Speaker 16: non proliferation alignment, to highlight the following three points. First
Speaker 16: and foremost, increase reiterate is a wavering commitment to preserving
Speaker 16: and strengthening the global nuclear non proliferation regime, the IAAA
Speaker 16: and NMPT remains indispensable institutional corner stores. We therefore urge
Speaker 16: all state parties to comply with the full range of
Speaker 16: the obligation under the NPT. Secondly, we express serious concerns
Speaker 16: of the findings of the digit gross's most recent report
Speaker 16: of May thirty first, as well as the IAAA Border
Speaker 16: Resolution adopted to June twelfth. According to them, the age's
Speaker 16: ability to verify Iran supplementation which nuclear related commitments under
Speaker 16: the GESPOA has been seriously affected. The cessation of Iran's
Speaker 16: application of the Additional Protocol, the removal of GESPOA related
Speaker 16: MONITORI s avail As action equipment, the non compliance which
Speaker 16: obligation under the Safeguards Agreement, and the access of Fugeal
Speaker 16: to experience AAA inspectors have collectedly led to a loss
Speaker 16: of continuity of knowledge, a gap that the AGESY now
Speaker 16: confirms cannot be restored. Of equal concern is a steady
Speaker 16: increase in Iran stockpile of enriched uranium. As of May seventeen,
Speaker 16: and since late February it runs totally rich uranium stock
Speaker 16: WILD has been considerably increased en reached up.
Speaker 9: To sixty percent.
Speaker 16: This is deeply alarming for a non proliferation perspective, whis
Speaker 16: there is no credible civilian use for uranium in the
Speaker 16: reach to this level. We remain deeply concerned with the
Speaker 16: direct to generous inability to provide assurances that it Run's
Speaker 16: nuclear program is exclusively peaceful. Thirdly, Greece continues to view
Speaker 16: the JESPOA as a dose, but this councils through Resolution
Speaker 16: twenty two thirty one, as the best available framewook to
Speaker 16: ensure that it runs nuclear program remains exclusively peaceful. Its
Speaker 16: full and effective implementation would provide both transparacy and confidence,
Speaker 16: not only with regard to verification, but also with a
Speaker 16: view towards sanctuous relief, economic developments a regional de escalation.
Speaker 16: It is in this period that we fully support all
Speaker 16: diplomatic efforts to secure TECHRAND full compliance, which are obligations
Speaker 16: under the GSPOA. We welcome last Friday three Iran talks,
Speaker 16: while we call for the resumption of the US Iran talks.
Speaker 16: As a country with historical ties and geographical proximity to
Speaker 16: the region, Greece stands ready to support all constructive efforts
Speaker 16: aimed at the escalation diplomas in dialog, but a president
Speaker 16: in closing lip with stress that Iran, as a matter
Speaker 16: of fact, no other nation must never be allowed to
Speaker 16: acquire a nuclear weapon. The international community cannot afford a
Speaker 16: major nuclear proliferation crisis. With the credibility of the global
Speaker 16: non proliferation regime at stake, and with military escalation threatening
Speaker 16: the security stability of the Middle East, the time has
Speaker 16: come for responsible action. We call on all parts to
Speaker 16: demonstrate political will, engage meaningfully and in good faith, and
Speaker 16: reaffirm the commitment to dialogue a diplomas, as the events
Speaker 16: of the last state demonstrate. We are glad that even
Speaker 16: in these very difficult circumstances, the window of diplomacy has
Speaker 16: remained open and it is now opportunity for addressing through
Speaker 16: dialogue all concerns about the Iranian nuclear program.
Speaker 3: I thank you, I thank the Representative of Greece for
Speaker 3: his statement, and I give the floor now to the
Speaker 3: Representative of Denmark.
Speaker 4: Thank you, and as others, I thank Under Secretary General
Speaker 4: Di Carlo, Ambassador Lamborgnidis and Ambassador Spoken for your briefings
Speaker 4: and updates. Madam President. The situation in the Middle East
Speaker 4: continues to evolve We welcome the announceds fire between Israel
Speaker 4: and Iran as a critical step towards the escalation in
Speaker 4: a region that has endured far too much instability. We
Speaker 4: urge both parties to advert to it and to abide
Speaker 4: by the applications under the UN Charter and international law.
Speaker 4: This moment must be seised not only to consolidate gains
Speaker 4: in regional security, but also to create the necessary space
Speaker 4: for renewed diplomatic engagement on the nuclear file. It is
Speaker 4: in the interest of all parties to pursue a negotiated solution,
Speaker 4: which is the only viable pad to restore the stability
Speaker 4: and lasting peace in the region, Madame President. Even before
Speaker 4: the reason developments, Denmark has continuously expressed our concern about
Speaker 4: Iran's nuclear trajectory and its activities in Blades and violation
Speaker 4: of the j cpu A. We have also persistently warned
Speaker 4: against an Iranian withdrawal from the Non Proliferation Treaty. Our
Speaker 4: position is clear, Iran must never be allowed to acquire
Speaker 4: a nuclear weapon. This follows Iran's obligations under the Non
Speaker 4: Periferation Treaty and his commitments under the j c PUA.
Speaker 4: It is therefore deeply alarming that the reason i e
Speaker 4: A report shows that Iran has failed to declare nuclear
Speaker 4: material in its mispossession and demonstrate that Iran has impeded
Speaker 4: and obstructed agency verification activities, as also conveyed by the
Speaker 4: twenty twenty two thirty one Facilitator letter, We reiterate outgrade
Speaker 4: concern that the IEA is unable to assure that the
Speaker 4: Iranian nuclear program is exclusively peaceful. These concerns are furthered
Speaker 4: by Iran's production and stockpiling are vast amounts of it
Speaker 4: riched uranium with no plausible civilian purpose. It still remains
Speaker 4: unclear whether Iran has ceased its enriching activities. We do
Speaker 4: not take it lightly and call on Iran to change
Speaker 4: his course of action and abide by its obligation. This
Speaker 4: remains true even if recent events have changed the circumstances
Speaker 4: surrounding the Iranian nuclear issue. Madame President as Many has
Speaker 4: highlighted here today this is the last mandated meeting before
Speaker 4: the expiration of the JCPA, meaning there is no times
Speaker 4: to spare. Iran must therefore engage seriously in negotiation with
Speaker 4: the international community, leading to an agreement which addresses all
Speaker 4: concerns related to its nuclear program. Secure and an agreement
Speaker 4: under nuclear issue has the potential to faster lasting stability
Speaker 4: in the Middle East. All efforts must be deployed to
Speaker 4: this end. The role of the ieas verification and monitoring
Speaker 4: of Iran's nuclear program remains imperative. Also in the current situation.
Speaker 4: Denmark strongly supports the agency's professional and impartial efforts in
Speaker 4: carrying out its mandate to verify the implementation of Iran's
Speaker 4: safeguard obligations, especially during these complex circumstances where the safety
Speaker 4: and security of the inspectors must also be kept in mind,
Speaker 4: Madame President. In closing, we continue to call for a
Speaker 4: diplomatic solution. Only a negotiated solution can bring a lasting
Speaker 4: settlement to concerns about Iran's nuclear program.
Speaker 3: I thank you, I tend to Representative of Denmark for
Speaker 3: her statement, and I give the floor to the Representative
Speaker 3: of Pakistan.
Speaker 17: Thank you, Madam President. We thank Under Secretary General Rosemary
Speaker 17: Di Carlo and Ambassador star Ross Lambornidis for their briefings.
Speaker 17: I would also like to thank Ambassador Samuel Suberger for
Speaker 17: presenting the report in his capacity as the facilitator of
Speaker 17: the twenty two to thirty one format, mad President, the
Speaker 17: core common element of these three briefings that we just
Speaker 17: heard in this meeting was the primacy of a peaceful
Speaker 17: diplomatic solution. We are meeting at a crucial point in
Speaker 17: the implementation of Resolution twenty two to thirty one and
Speaker 17: Security Council's consideration of Iran's nuclear issue. Obviously, the developments
Speaker 17: of the past two weeks have impacted the context of
Speaker 17: the whole issue and have a bearing on our discussions today. However,
Speaker 17: what has not changed are the fundamental principles and multilateral
Speaker 17: spirit behind the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action and the
Speaker 17: Resolution twenty two thirty one adopted ten years ago. The
Speaker 17: JCPOA was a unique instrument manifestation of an approach based
Speaker 17: on dialogue, diplomacy, and pragmatism. It was the outcome of
Speaker 17: painstaking and arduous, yet constructive negotiations. It charted a roadmap
Speaker 17: to comprehensively address the concerns of the parties concerned by
Speaker 17: clearly defining their relevant obligations and responsibilities. While proceeding very well,
Speaker 17: the agreement was regrettably disrupted, leaving many complications in its
Speaker 17: wake that impacted the full and faithful implementation of the
Speaker 17: JCPUA by various parties. Notwithstanding those challenges, the most widely
Speaker 17: held view was that dialogue, diplomacy and constructive engagement was
Speaker 17: the only viable way forward.
Speaker 9: That view was still there.
Speaker 17: And was indeed back in play with the negotiations between
Speaker 17: Iran and the United States facilitated facilitated by Oman till
Speaker 17: it was violently disrupted by the unlawful and illegal military
Speaker 17: attacks on the IAEA safeguarded Iranian nuclear facilities. These military
Speaker 17: strikes also impeded the IAEA's crucial.
Speaker 9: Verification functions in Iran.
Speaker 17: Pakistan has expressed its clear position on these developments in
Speaker 17: this chamber and elsewhere over the past two weeks. Our
Speaker 17: leadership has also remained actively engaged with counterparts from many
Speaker 17: other countries during this period when in president, what we
Speaker 17: have witnessed should never have happened. Even now, it is
Speaker 17: our firm belief that these actions should not be allowed
Speaker 17: to further complicate the peaceful resolution of longstanding issues, as
Speaker 17: well as the full and effective implementation of Resolution twenty
Speaker 17: two thirty one. We reaffirm our support for the resolution
Speaker 17: of the Iranian nuclear issue through peaceful means diplomatic engagement
Speaker 17: and sustained dialogue. Pakistan advocates the preservation and renewal of
Speaker 17: the JCPOA or its substitution by an equally sound agreement
Speaker 17: that is acceptable to all sides before it expires in
Speaker 17: October this year. The IAEA is the institution responsible for
Speaker 17: verifying compliance with respective nuclear safeguards obligations of member states.
Speaker 17: It is mandated to do so in an objective, impartial
Speaker 17: and credible manner purely on technical grounds. The IAA must
Speaker 17: be enabled to fulfill this statutory function. We believe that
Speaker 17: verification activities by the IAEA should continue unimped it The
Speaker 17: IAEA must continue its work in an impartial and apolitical
Speaker 17: manner to provide objective reporting and credible information regarding the
Speaker 17: issues under its purview. Madern President, with regards to recent
Speaker 17: developments in the region, I would like to emphasize the
Speaker 17: following point points. First, condemnation of violation of the sovereignty
Speaker 17: and territorial integrity of member states and the threat or
Speaker 17: useer force to settle disputes. Second, clear rejection of attacks
Speaker 17: on IAEA safeguarded nuclear facilities which violate Security Council and
Speaker 17: IAA resolutions. As well as international humanitarian law. Third, we
Speaker 17: request the Secretary General to report on the implications of
Speaker 17: these developments on the implementation of Resolution twenty two thirty one,
Speaker 17: particularly those arising from military strikes against nuclear facilities, and
Speaker 17: we also request the Director General IAEA to share his
Speaker 17: assessment from legal, technical, safety, security and safeguards points of view. Fourth,
Speaker 17: we urge sustained secession of hostilities and a permanencya squire
Speaker 17: to allow resumption of dialogue and verification activities by the IAEA. Fifth,
Speaker 17: there is an urgent need to renew diplomatic engagement to
Speaker 17: seriously and faithfully address the outstanding issues in a cooperative
Speaker 17: manner as for the rights, obligations and responsibilities of the
Speaker 17: parties concerned. When President, we welcome the announcement of the
Speaker 17: ceasefire and standing between Iran and Israel, and we expect
Speaker 17: this to be fully respected. To recommend all those who
Speaker 17: played a pivotal role in facilitating this development and hope
Speaker 17: this positive step will contribute to lasting peace and stability
Speaker 17: in the region. This is a vital step that must
Speaker 17: now be followed up by constructive and comprehensive engagement. Parks
Speaker 17: then firmly believes that all disputes must be resolved in
Speaker 17: accordance with the principles of the UN Charter and international law,
Speaker 17: respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity. We call on all
Speaker 17: parties to fulfill their respective obligations and responsibilities and avoid
Speaker 17: any further escalation. Most importantly, the trust and confidence in
Speaker 17: the diplomatic engagement that was damaged by the unprovoked aggression
Speaker 17: must be meticulously restored. The Council should allow sufficient time
Speaker 17: to continuing efforts between the IAEA and Iran, as well
Speaker 17: as other parties, to resolve outstanding issues. Recent developments have
Speaker 17: yet again manifested the grave dangers that present themselves when
Speaker 17: there are violations of the UN Charter and international law.
Speaker 17: The cost of seeking to resolve issues through military means
Speaker 17: is more than evident. The region and indeed the whole world,
Speaker 17: cannot be held hostage to such adventure, which is dangerous
Speaker 17: precedents and spiraling escalations. Diplomatic engagement and the resumption of
Speaker 17: dialogue are the best means to resolve all outstanding issues.
Speaker 17: Diplomacy has delivered previously, and with the necessary political will,
Speaker 17: it can certainly deliver again. Lastly, allow me to inform
Speaker 17: the Council that, following up on the draft resolution circulated
Speaker 17: by China, Pakistan and Russia on Sunday, we have updated
Speaker 17: and revised the text to reflect the latest developments, including
Speaker 17: the ceasefire, and have circulated it to Council members. Securing
Speaker 17: the ceasefire was one of the primary objectives of the
Speaker 17: draft resolution, in addition to calling for a negotiated settlement
Speaker 17: of the Iranian nuclear issue and promoting respect for international
Speaker 17: law under all circumstances. Engage constructively with fellow members on
Speaker 17: the text of this draft resolution with a view to
Speaker 17: arriving at a consensus outcome signifying the Council support for
Speaker 17: sustained ceasefire and sustain dialogue and diplomatic engagement for a
Speaker 17: lasting solution.
Speaker 3: I thank you, I tend the Representative of Pakistan for
Speaker 3: his statement, and I give the floor to the Representative
Speaker 3: of the United Kingdom.
Speaker 18: Thank you, President, and I thank Under Secretary General Di Carlo,
Speaker 18: Ambassador Lambornids and ambassad sh Boga for your briefings. Let
Speaker 18: me start by welcoming the announcement by President Trump of
Speaker 18: a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, but the situation remains
Speaker 18: extremely fragile. We call on all sides to respect the
Speaker 18: ceasefire in full. Our priority remains stability in the Middle
Speaker 18: East and we are that restarting this conflict is in
Speaker 18: no one's interest. Now is the time for a return
Speaker 18: to diplomacy. We, along with our partners, are clear that
Speaker 18: only diplomacy can achieve a durable solution to the Uranian
Speaker 18: nuclear threat. We urge Iran to take this opportunity to
Speaker 18: engage in negotiations now. It is critical that Iran does
Speaker 18: not miss this window for diplomacy. President. As we know,
Speaker 18: Iran's nuclear program has been far beyond any credible civilian justification,
Speaker 18: including an enriched uranium stockpile forty times the limit set
Speaker 18: by the JCPOA. It is urgent that the AIAEA have
Speaker 18: full access, especially on Iran's enriched uranium stockpile. We have
Speaker 18: been clear that Iran cannot develop or acquire a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 18: The UK, alongside our E three partners, stands ready to
Speaker 18: support efforts towards a negotiated solution. We will use all
Speaker 18: diplomatic leavers at our disposal to support a negotiated outcome
Speaker 18: and ensure Iran does not develop a nuclear weapon. President Finally,
Speaker 18: we commend the IAEA and the Director General for their
Speaker 18: vital work, including under the mandate of UN Security Council
Speaker 18: Resolution twenty two thirty one. They have displayed displayed professionalism
Speaker 18: and impartiality, and they have our full support. We urge
Speaker 18: Iran to cooperate with the IAEA in the interests of
Speaker 18: both safety and diplomacy. Colleagues, we urge all parties to
Speaker 18: urgently pursue a deal that establishes international confidence long term
Speaker 18: that Iran's nuclear program is exclusively peaceful. The cease fire
Speaker 18: is the first step towards that.
Speaker 3: I thank you, I thank the Representative of the United
Speaker 3: Kingdom for her statement, and I give the floor now
Speaker 3: to the representative of China.
Speaker 19: President. I think Usgt. Carlo, Ambassador Lambrinidis of the Year
Speaker 19: Delegation to the UN, and Ambassador Spoga, Permanent Representative of Slovenia,
Speaker 19: for their briefings Israel and the United States on the
Speaker 19: grounds of possible future threats resorted to the use of
Speaker 19: force against the Iran in series avolation of the international
Speaker 19: law and the Iran to sovereignty. What's more, striking, Iranian
Speaker 19: nuclear facilities that are placed under the IAEA safeguards, says
Speaker 19: a bad president, which threatens the international non proliferation regime,
Speaker 19: which China once again unequivocally condemns. The aforementioned acts have
Speaker 19: also undermined polematic efforts to resolve the Uranian nuclei issue
Speaker 19: and created a high degree of uncertainty to the implementation
Speaker 19: of Secret Council Resolution twenty two thirty one. China is
Speaker 19: briefly concerned and deeply worried about this president. China has
Speaker 19: noted that some members of this Council have done nothing
Speaker 19: but accused Iran of violating its non proliferation obligations in
Speaker 19: an attempt to justify the military actions of Israel and
Speaker 19: the United States. Here, China wishes to remind these countries
Speaker 19: of the following basic facts. It is none other than
Speaker 19: the United States that started the Iranian nuclear crisis. The
Speaker 19: United States Union laterally withdrew from the J'SOA in twenty eighteen. Thereafter,
Speaker 19: it reinstated under escalated unilactal sanctions against Iran and adopted
Speaker 19: measures of maximum pressure pressure which prevented Iran from enjoying
Speaker 19: the economic dividends conferred by the agreement and forced the
Speaker 19: country to reduce fulfilling its obligations under the agreement. It
Speaker 19: is again the United States, throwing to the wind its
Speaker 19: own credibility, launched the military strikes against the Iranian nuclear facilities,
Speaker 19: undermining the negotiation process initiate initiated by itself, leading the
Speaker 19: Uranian nuclear issue to yet another impasse and resulting in
Speaker 19: an abrupt escalation of the regional situation. Iran's sincerity in
Speaker 19: resolving the nuclear crisis should be valued. Up till today,
Speaker 19: Iran continues to fulfill its nuclear non proliferation obligations and
Speaker 19: implement the Comprehensive Safeguard's Agreement. Iran has repeatedly stated that
Speaker 19: it does not seek to develop a nuclear weapons. It
Speaker 19: conducted several rounds of a professional and pragmatic neotiations with
Speaker 19: the United States in a constructed manner and never abandoned
Speaker 19: its diplomatic efforts. However, some countries, citing the report of
Speaker 19: the Director General of IAEA in a one sided manner
Speaker 19: and ignoring the positive aspects of the Iran's cooperation with
Speaker 19: the agency, pushed for the adoption of a resolution by
Speaker 19: the IAEA Board of Governors without adequate consultations, thus jeopardizing
Speaker 19: the atmosphere of dialogue while intensifying tension under confrontation. We
Speaker 19: call on these countries to reflect long and hard on
Speaker 19: the adverse consequences of their irresponsible move. President China is
Speaker 19: of the view that we have yet to exhaust all
Speaker 19: diplomatic means to resolve the Uberinian nuclear issue, and there
Speaker 19: is still hope for a peaceful solution. It is necessary
Speaker 19: for all parties to draw lessons from this restart the
Speaker 19: dialogue on equal footing under promote the return of the
Speaker 19: Ubinian nuclei issue to the track of a political settlement.
Speaker 19: I wish to stress three points. First, the priority is
Speaker 19: to stop the fighting. Facts have shown that force is
Speaker 19: not an option for resolving international disputes, and there's no
Speaker 19: way that it can resolve the Iranian nuclear issue. Now,
Speaker 19: China has taken note of the current developments on the
Speaker 19: ground and looks forward to the realization of a genuine
Speaker 19: ceasefire that can effectively hold. The parties concerned should take
Speaker 19: practical measures to prevent the situation from escalating again. Meanwhile,
Speaker 19: the international community must make efforts to cool down the
Speaker 19: situation under promote the dialogue and negotiation. Second, we must
Speaker 19: recognize that a political solution is the only way forward.
Speaker 19: The core aim and objectives set out in the JCPOA
Speaker 19: and the Resolution twenty TI two thirty one remain valid.
Speaker 19: In the next step of the political settlement of this issue,
Speaker 19: we must adhere to the general direction of a political
Speaker 19: and diplomatic solution and oppose the use of force and
Speaker 19: illegal sanctions. In order to balance the objectives of nuclear
Speaker 19: non proliferation and peaceful uses of the nuclear energy. Iran
Speaker 19: must continue to abide by its commitment not to develop
Speaker 19: nuclear weapons, and parties should fully respect Iran's right to
Speaker 19: peaceful uses of the nuclear energy As a state party
Speaker 19: to the MPT Treaty. All parties should insist on addressing
Speaker 19: the legitimate concerns through dialogue and consultation on an equal footing.
Speaker 19: Third to start a dialogue and negotiation is the fundamental
Speaker 19: way forward. China supports all efforts to relaunch the Uranian
Speaker 19: nuclear negotiations and believes that this is also the position
Speaker 19: of the vast majority of Council members. The Security Council
Speaker 19: should play a constructive role in assisting parties in building trust,
Speaker 19: breaching differences, and creating conditions conducive to the resumption of negotiations.
Speaker 19: Rather of the countries should abandon the practice of threatening
Speaker 19: to activate snapback and mechanism at every turn, as this
Speaker 19: will only aggravate tensions and confrontations and even further jeopardized
Speaker 19: diplomatic efforts. A proper solution of the Uranian nuclear issue
Speaker 19: has a director bearing on the authority and the effectiveness
Speaker 19: effectiveness of the international non proliferation regime, and it's crucial
Speaker 19: to peace and stability in the Middle East. At present,
Speaker 19: the situation in the region is at a critical and
Speaker 19: crucial juncture. Chane Account calls on all parties to act
Speaker 19: with a higher sense of urgency and responsibility to de
Speaker 19: escalate the situation as soon as possible and resume negociations
Speaker 19: at the earliest possible date. As a permanent member of
Speaker 19: the Security Council and a party to the JCPOA, China
Speaker 19: will continue to maintain an objective and impartial position, strengthen
Speaker 19: communication and coordination with all parties to build a synergy
Speaker 19: and uphold fairness and the justice with a view to
Speaker 19: playing a constructive role in restoring peace in the Middle
Speaker 19: East and promoting a political solution to the Urinian nuclear issue.
Speaker 3: Thank you, President I Tank the Representative of China for
Speaker 3: his statement. I shall now make a statement in my
Speaker 3: capacity as representative of Guyana. I tanked USG rose Marie
Speaker 3: di Carlo for presenting the nineteenth Report of the Secretary
Speaker 3: General on the implementation of Resolution twenty two thirty one
Speaker 3: and Ambassador Samuel Bogar for presenting the Facilitator's Report. I
Speaker 3: also tank Ambassador Lamborgnidis for his briefing. In light of
Speaker 3: the recent escalation over the past two weeks, Ghana welcomes
Speaker 3: the announced ceasefire between Israel and Iran. We reiterate our
Speaker 3: call for dialogue a return to the negotiating table as
Speaker 3: the only way forward for a diplomatic solution, one that
Speaker 3: promotes regional and international peace and security. Guyana also urges
Speaker 3: all parties to exercise maximum restraint and to unequivocally commit
Speaker 3: to safeguarding all nuclear installations in accordance with their international obligations. Colleagues,
Speaker 3: we stand at a critical juncture, with Resolution twenty two
Speaker 3: thirty one being mayor months away from expiation and a
Speaker 3: joint Comprehensive Plan of Action still to achieve its core mandate.
Speaker 3: Guyana recalls that the jcpoa endorsed by Resolution twenty two
Speaker 3: thirty one, was meant to ensure that Iran's nuclear program
Speaker 3: will be of an exclusively peaceful nature. Guyana also recalls
Speaker 3: that Resolution twenty two thirty one encourage Member States to
Speaker 3: cooperate with Iran in the framework of the JCPOA, including
Speaker 3: through IAEA involved. It also encourages cooperation in the field
Speaker 3: of peaceful uses of nuclear energy an engagement in mutually
Speaker 3: determined civil nuclear cooperation projects in accordance with Annexed three
Speaker 3: of the JCPOA. We acknowledge the nineteenth report of the
Speaker 3: Secretary General on the implementation of Security Council Resolution twenty
Speaker 3: two thirty one. We concur with his assessment that a
Speaker 3: diplomatic solution that ensures the exclusively peaceful nature of the
Speaker 3: Iranian nuclear program and promotes economic and trade cooperation between
Speaker 3: the Islamic Republic of Iran and the international community is
Speaker 3: the only viable pathway to peace and prosperity. We took
Speaker 3: notes of last month's IAEA report on Iran's implementation of
Speaker 3: its commitment under the JCPOA, submitted in accordance with paragraph
Speaker 3: four of Resolution twenty two thirty one. Notwithstanding the current circumstances.
Speaker 3: In fact, because of it, we encourage continued cooperation between
Speaker 3: the AAA and Iran, including in addressing outstanding safeguards issue
Speaker 3: and in assessing the safety and security risks of the
Speaker 3: nuclear facilities. We also support the vital efforts of the
Speaker 3: Secretary General and the Joint Commission's Procurement Channel in facilitating
Speaker 3: implementation of Resolution twenty two thirty one and the Plan. Colleagues,
Speaker 3: Guyana recalls that agreement on the JCPOA was reached through
Speaker 3: intensive multilateral negotiations. We must continue to work towards the
Speaker 3: full implementation of the Plan. Guyana believes that this is
Speaker 3: vital to ensuring regional and international peace and security and
Speaker 3: for building confidence and trust among the parties. We therefore
Speaker 3: urge all participants to return to the Plan and to
Speaker 3: engage in dialog and diplomacy as a matter of urgency.
Speaker 3: Mutually assured destruction can never be a good policy. We
Speaker 3: urge stronger commitment toward the Non Proliferation Treaty and encourage
Speaker 3: states that have not yet done so to accede to
Speaker 3: the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. We undiscord
Speaker 3: the need for decisive action by the international community in
Speaker 3: advancing the abolition of nuclear weapons. In conclusion, I reiterate
Speaker 3: Guyana's commitment to a world free of nuclear warp weapons
Speaker 3: and one where there is greater investment in peace. I
Speaker 3: thank you. I resume my function as President of the Council.
Speaker 3: The Representative of the United States has asked for the
Speaker 3: floor to make for the statement.
Speaker 20: I give her the floor.
Speaker 10: Thank you, Madam President. I am compelled to respond to
Speaker 10: some assertions made by certain Council members. I spoke earlier
Speaker 10: about the precision operation the United States took to degrade
Speaker 10: Iran's capacity to produce a nuclear weapon. We did not
Speaker 10: take this action lightly, and we are confident that it
Speaker 10: is consistent with the inherent right of self defense under
Speaker 10: the UN Charter. Nothing in the IAEA Statute prevents states
Speaker 10: from taking legitimate steps for their own or collective self defense.
Speaker 15: I thank you.
Speaker 3: I thank the Representative of the United States for her statement,
Speaker 3: and I now give the floor to the Representative of
Speaker 3: the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Speaker 7: Thank you.
Speaker 20: In the name of the compassionate, the merciful. Thank you,
Speaker 20: Madam President, for convening this meeting. Today's International Women's Day.
Speaker 20: In Diplomacy, let me begin by congratulating you and all
Speaker 20: women diplomats on this occasion. I also congratulate you on
Speaker 20: your successful leadership of the Council thus far in and
Speaker 20: I commend your tireless affairs in con winning emergency meeting
Speaker 20: to derive the Security Council attention to the aggradation by
Speaker 20: Israel and the United States against my country and the
Speaker 20: latant violation. I wish to sincell the tank our blood
Speaker 20: eily and friendly nation, the State of Gatar, for its
Speaker 20: sincere and diplomatic affairs to help and Israeli aggraation establish
Speaker 20: a ceasefire and prevent a further escalation of regional tensions
Speaker 20: that tiltan peace and stability in the region. With thanks
Speaker 20: and the Sexitriginal Mysticollo for her briefing, we take note
Speaker 20: of the sex Digeneral report. We echo ourselves with the
Speaker 20: sex Digeneral's call for a diplomatic solution in his report,
Speaker 20: as well as with the USC in her.
Speaker 7: To day's briefing.
Speaker 20: We welcome Slovenia as facilitator of Resolution twenty to thirty
Speaker 20: one and appreciate Ambassador Jubogar and his team for preparing
Speaker 20: the report of today's briefing. We take note the statement
Speaker 20: made by the Ambassador Lambrenides, head of Delegation of the
Speaker 20: European Union in the capacity of the Coordinator of GCPOA,
Speaker 20: Mather President. First and foremost, I wish to express my
Speaker 20: strong objection to the participation of the delegation of the
Speaker 20: Israel religion in this meeting. Legally and presidially, Israel has
Speaker 20: no standing to take part in this meeting. This regime
Speaker 20: has no connection to the agenda of the meeting, no
Speaker 20: Resolution twenty two thirty one or the GCPOA. The participants
Speaker 20: to the GCPOA as mentioned in Resolution twenty two thirty one,
Speaker 20: are clearly defined, and the Counsul's practice in convening meeting
Speaker 20: under this agenda item has always been limited to the
Speaker 20: GCPOA participants. Madame President, This meeting is the final Security
Speaker 20: Council briefing on Resolution twenty two thirty one before its
Speaker 20: expiation in October twenty twenty five.
Speaker 7: In this context, I would like to make following points.
Speaker 20: First, the US in lateral withdrawal from the g SPUE
Speaker 20: in twenty eighteen. It then imposed illegal extratatorial sanctions, violating
Speaker 20: UN Security Concil Resolution twenty two thirty one. Iron has
Speaker 20: honored its commitment in constraint. The United States, with the
Speaker 20: full support from the UK, France and Germany, has repeatedly
Speaker 20: violated bout the spirit and letter of the g SPUIA
Speaker 20: as well as Resolution twenty two thirty one. The rude
Speaker 20: causes of the current situation are simple and clear. Therefore,
Speaker 20: they are not in a position to accuse Iran of
Speaker 20: non compliance. Second to day's meeting take place as my
Speaker 20: country face an unprovoked military aggredation that blatantly violates international law.
Speaker 20: The UN chartered the Statute of the IEA, the General
Speaker 20: Conference Resolution and Dissolution twenty two thirty one.
Speaker 7: This Resolution twenty two thirty.
Speaker 20: One calls on all UN member states to avoid actions
Speaker 20: that undermine.
Speaker 7: The resolution and the GSPA.
Speaker 20: However, with the full U s support, Israel has targeted
Speaker 20: Iran's peaceful nuclear facilities, civilians and civilian infrastructure. Israel false
Speaker 20: justified these attacks on Iran's peaceful nuclear program as an
Speaker 20: imminient threat.
Speaker 7: These claims is baseless and has no legal base in reality.
Speaker 20: Israel, the regions only undeclared nuclear armed entity and non
Speaker 20: party to MPT, refuse IAA inspections and monitoring, while Iran
Speaker 20: complies with the NPT and has subjected its nuclear program
Speaker 20: to the most regress IA monitoring. The breach of Resolution
Speaker 20: twenty two thirty one international law is not limited to Israel.
Speaker 20: The United States, a permanent Council member responsible for upholding
Speaker 20: its resolution, also attacked Iran nuclear facilities under IA Safeguard third.
Speaker 20: It is profoundly troubling that, even after a decade of
Speaker 20: Resolution twenty two thirty one, Iran's fully monitored, peaceful nuclear
Speaker 20: program has been repeatedly targeted by Israel.
Speaker 7: And the United States.
Speaker 20: These legal actions set a dangerous precedent on their mind
Speaker 20: the non proliferation regime and damaged the credibility of the
Speaker 20: Security Council. Resolution twenty two thirty one was intended to
Speaker 20: promote peaceful solution and strengthen the Council's role in preventing
Speaker 20: unnecessary crisis. However, reckless attacks on Iran's peaceful nuclear facilities
Speaker 20: by Israel and the US has grereatly weaken this role.
Speaker 20: It is disappointing that the Council failed to condemn these
Speaker 20: illegal attacks despite a strongly quest by Dissolution for Age seven,
Speaker 20: which prohibits such illegal acts. We call on the Council to,
Speaker 20: at the very least explicity, condemn these aggress and ensure
Speaker 20: they don't happen again. Fourth, the double standards are blatant.
Speaker 20: While the US the UK of France maintain massive nuclear
Speaker 20: arsenals and overlook israel undeclared stock piles, they baselessly claim
Speaker 20: Iran's peaceful program threaten international peace and security. These political
Speaker 20: accusations have been refuted for years by Iran's transparency and
Speaker 20: by its full cooperation with IEA. If they truly care
Speaker 20: about the non proliferation regime, they must condemn israel violation
Speaker 20: of international law Resolution four eighty seven. Fifth, claims that
Speaker 20: Iran has violated Resolution twenty two thirty one are glandless.
Speaker 20: For past decades, Iran has upheld Resolution twenty two thirty
Speaker 20: one and the GSPUA. Our remedial measure have been fully
Speaker 20: consistent with these two instruments, meant only to restore balance
Speaker 20: and encourage all parties to detern.
Speaker 7: To their commitment.
Speaker 20: Iran remedial measure must not be misused to justify new
Speaker 20: pressure on the g SPUA or Resolution twenty to thirty one.
Speaker 20: The consul must prevent any attempt to manipulate this mechanism
Speaker 20: against Iran. Sixth, Resolution twenty two two thirty one must
Speaker 20: conclude on schedule and Ran reject any attempt to revive
Speaker 20: expired provisions under any pretext. Unfortunately, European GISIPPI participants have
Speaker 20: failed to meet their obligation. Even worse, they falsely assert
Speaker 20: that Iran is closed to acquiring nuclear weapons, a falsehood
Speaker 20: unsupported by credible evidence. Our peaceful program under strict IA
Speaker 20: verification cannot be denied. Despite this aggress and the unconstructive
Speaker 20: behavior of the European parties, ern remain committed to diplomacy
Speaker 20: and peaceful dispute. Resolution Resolution twenty two thirty one proved
Speaker 20: that diplomacy can and must resolve differences. Seventh, Iran continue
Speaker 20: to believe a diplomatic resolution to nuclear and sanctioned issue
Speaker 20: is possible. Our commitment is evident through over full implementation
Speaker 20: of gcpa A Resolution twenty to thirty one. But if
Speaker 20: the other parties truly want a resolution, they must respect
Speaker 20: Iran's right and stop undermining diplomacy. Eight Iran never initiated
Speaker 20: this war. Once the aggressors stopped, they attacks Iran stopped
Speaker 20: its lawful military response as well. Nevertheless, Iran will not
Speaker 20: overlook the deceit and double standards over brave our forces
Speaker 20: remain fully prepared to respond to any further trests or violation. Finally,
Speaker 20: to conclude, Madame President, we are now closer to diplomacy
Speaker 20: than ever before. The long, large scale war they thought
Speaker 20: could force Iran into so called unconditional surrender and make
Speaker 20: it abandoned its pouseful nuclear program through intermediation, threats and
Speaker 20: the use of force has failed more clearly than ever.
Speaker 20: They unleashed their full military might, supporting and providing Israel
Speaker 20: with advanced fighter jets, sophisticated weaponry, and the most powerful bombs,
Speaker 20: even bunker posts, to attack iron peaceful nuclear facilities and covertly,
Speaker 20: deliberately and indiscriminately targeted civilians and critical infrastructures. These attacks
Speaker 20: led to the martyrdom of hundreds of innocent people, including women, children,
Speaker 20: nuclear scientists, academic athletes, students, aid workers, and senior military officials,
Speaker 20: and left thousands more injured. We honor martyrs for the sacrifice, says,
Speaker 20: as well as our brave patritude people in defense of
Speaker 20: our homeland eren emerged pro an esteadfast in the phase
Speaker 20: of this criminal aggreation disproves one simple truth more clearly
Speaker 20: than ever. Diplomacy and dialogue are the only path to
Speaker 20: dissolving the unnecessary crisis over Iran's peaceful program.
Speaker 3: I thank you, I tend the Representative of the Islamic
Speaker 3: Republic of Iran for his statement, and I give the
Speaker 3: flown now to the Representative of Germany.
Speaker 21: Madame President. I would like to thank Under Secretary General
Speaker 21: Di Carlo, Ambassador Bogar and Ambassador Lambrininis for their valuable
Speaker 21: briefings and continuous efforts to implement United Nations Security Council
Speaker 21: Resolution twenty two thirty one. For two decades, this Council
Speaker 21: has been deliberating on the Iranian nuclear program. We find
Speaker 21: ourselves at a particularly difficult juncture today. France, Germany and
Speaker 21: the United Kingdom have consistently made every effort to find
Speaker 21: a diplomatic solution with Iran and will continue to do so,
Speaker 21: but the Iranian nuclear programs a threat to international peace
Speaker 21: and security. Last Friday, the E three Foreign Ministers and
Speaker 21: the EU High Representative met with their Iranian counterpart in
Speaker 21: Geneva to call upon Iran to engage in negotiations. We
Speaker 21: will continue our joint diplomatic effort to address all concerns
Speaker 21: associated with Iran's nuclear program. We have always been clear
Speaker 21: Iran must not have a nuclear weapon. It can only
Speaker 21: be a non nuclear weapon state under the NPTE and
Speaker 21: must respect its nuclear safeguard's obligations. Our efforts, conducted jointly
Speaker 21: with many partners around the globe, have aimed at preventing
Speaker 21: Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. We successfully concluded the JCPOA,
Speaker 21: which put robust and verifiable restrictions on Iran's nuclear program
Speaker 21: and would have provided the entire international community with confidence
Speaker 21: that Iran's nuclear activities remain exclusively peaceful. Throughout the last years,
Speaker 21: we witnessed an expansion of Iran's nuclear program far beyond
Speaker 21: Iran's commitments under the jcp. As of last months, Irans
Speaker 21: in which the uranium stockpile were forty times higher than
Speaker 21: allowed under the JSPOA limits. Iran continued to enrich uranium
Speaker 21: to up to sixty percent, which lacks any plausible civilian
Speaker 21: purpose in an underground facility. It stopped implementing almost all
Speaker 21: of its key and transparency commitments. It subscribed to under
Speaker 21: the JCPOA as well. The E three have always pursued
Speaker 21: diplomacy to find a solution to the Iranian nuclear proliferation crisis.
Speaker 21: In twenty one and twenty two, we negotiated in good
Speaker 21: faith to bring the US back into the JSPUA and
Speaker 21: Iran to full compliance with its commitments to no avail.
Speaker 21: Iran twice refused a fair proposal put on the table
Speaker 21: by the Coordinator and decided to further escalate its nuclear
Speaker 21: program to the level we all know in conjecture within
Speaker 21: Iran's failure to comply with its legally binding safeguard its obligations,
Speaker 21: an assessment that was affirmed by the Board of Governor's
Speaker 21: resolution last months. Iran's nuclear activities have remained a threat
Speaker 21: to regional and global security. Iran's nuclear program continues to
Speaker 21: pose serious proliferation concerns. We are particularly concerned by any
Speaker 21: possible relocation of nuclear materials since the recent military strikes.
Speaker 21: We reiterate that as a member of the EMPTY and
Speaker 21: its Nuclear Safeguards regime, Iran is obliged to declare and
Speaker 21: put all nuclear material located in Iran under IAEA safeguards.
Speaker 21: Iran must fully cooperate with the agency and refrain from
Speaker 21: threats against its personnel and d G Gross himself, whose
Speaker 21: professional work we commend. In this regard, we are alerted
Speaker 21: by the initiative in the Iranian Parliament to suspend cooperation
Speaker 21: with the agency, as well as by Iran's deliberations to
Speaker 21: withdraw from the NPT. In closing, let me welcome the
Speaker 21: cease fire between Israel and Iran announced yesterday and all
Speaker 21: on like others, Germany Joints calls on all sides to
Speaker 21: respect it and to re engage in diplomacy. Thank you.
Speaker 3: I tend the Representative of Germany for her statement, and
Speaker 3: I give the floor to the Representative of Israel.
Speaker 22: Thank you, Madam President. First, I would like to send USG.
Speaker 22: De Carlo and the representatives from the EU and Slovenia
Speaker 22: for their remarks. To my colleague, the Ambassador of Iran,
Speaker 22: I advise you, instead of giving advice to the Council
Speaker 22: how to conduct its affairs, to comply with the resolution
Speaker 22: of the Security Council, so we don't have to come
Speaker 22: back here almost every day and discuss the violations of Iran,
Speaker 22: Madam President, since launching Operation Writhing lyon Israel has walked
Speaker 22: to remove a double distential threat from both the nuclear
Speaker 22: threat and ballistic missiles. The IDEF achieved complete air superiority
Speaker 22: over Tehran, struck a severe blow to the military leadership,
Speaker 22: and destroyed dozens of key targets.
Speaker 9: Our forces achieved the.
Speaker 22: Objectives of our operation in removing these threats in full
Speaker 22: coordination with President tramp Is well as agreed to the
Speaker 22: President's proposal for a seas fire.
Speaker 9: We thanked the United.
Speaker 22: States for its support and critical role in removing the
Speaker 22: Iranian nuclear threat. Last night, the Iranian regime fired missiles
Speaker 22: at our civilian population.
Speaker 9: Four innocent civilians were murdered in Belsheva.
Speaker 22: Their tragic deaths are a reminder of the evil we
Speaker 22: dealt with a regime that could not restrain its hatred.
Speaker 22: Well is a peaceful nation. We pray for peace three
Speaker 22: times a day, but make no mistake, we will respond
Speaker 22: forcefully to any violation of the seeds fire and any
Speaker 22: threat facing our people. I have no doubt that the
Speaker 22: leadership and the determination is well displayed will allow the
Speaker 22: Abrahma Codes to expand and bring other nations into the
Speaker 22: fold of normalization. Madam President, if there were a Nobel
Speaker 22: prize for deception. The Ibeian regime would win it. Every
Speaker 22: single year. It has broken every commitment it has ever made.
Speaker 22: There is no reason to believe this deception will not continue.
Speaker 22: Let's walk through the facts. In July twenty fifteen, this
Speaker 22: Council endorsed JCPOA. Iran supposedly agreed to many conditions, restricting
Speaker 22: its enrichment, reducing its stockpile, and opening.
Speaker 9: Its facilities for inspection.
Speaker 22: In return, it was granted sanctions, belief and global legitimacy.
Speaker 22: But even then, Iran was already building its exit strategy.
Speaker 22: By July twenty nineteen, Iran has already reached the three
Speaker 22: hundred kilogram limit on in which uranium. In January twenty
Speaker 22: twenty one, it resumed in which one to twenty percent,
Speaker 22: more than five times the agreed limit. In April of
Speaker 22: that same year, it crossed into a truly dangerous territory
Speaker 22: in reaching uranium to sixty percent. This is a level
Speaker 22: with no civilian application. In June twenty twenty two, Iran
Speaker 22: removed the IAEA's survelliance cameras and monitoring equipment, attempting to
Speaker 22: eliminate all other side. Today, the IAA is completely blind.
Speaker 22: Out of May twenty twenty five, Iran's in which uranium
Speaker 22: stockpile stands at over nine thousand kilograms.
Speaker 9: This includes more than four hundred kilograms.
Speaker 22: In which to sixty percent, the IAA has confirmed it
Speaker 22: can no longer verify the extent of Ivan's program. For years,
Speaker 22: the international community spoke of Resolution twenty two thirty one
Speaker 22: and the JCPOA at a framework for peace, But for Ivan,
Speaker 22: it was a framework for deception. While the diplomats and
Speaker 22: politicians talked, Ivan built, while you negotiated, They enriched, while
Speaker 22: you hoped, they lied. Today, the vigime in te Ivan
Speaker 22: stands completely exposed at the regime that has weaponized every
Speaker 22: opportunity you gave it. Iran did not abandon its commitments
Speaker 22: last week or last months. It walked away from its
Speaker 22: obligations years ago, if it ever kept to them at all.
Speaker 22: It has been violating this resolution with impunity for as
Speaker 22: long as it existed. This Council just refused to see it.
Speaker 22: We all know that Evan's left level of enrichment as
Speaker 22: no civilian usage.
Speaker 9: It's a fact.
Speaker 22: The Council doesn't need a nuclear scientist to understand what
Speaker 22: that means. The international community now knows what is well
Speaker 22: as known. For a long time, Iran was working on
Speaker 22: the key elements for a nuclear bomb in hidden facilities
Speaker 22: protected from international view. These were facilities like Fodo, originally
Speaker 22: built for ninety percent enrichment.
Speaker 9: And hidden from the IAA.
Speaker 22: Iran engaged in systematic, calculated assault on every safeguard this
Speaker 22: Council claimed would prevent them from attaining a bomb. Colleagues,
Speaker 22: Israel has been warning you for years. We warned you
Speaker 22: when i Wan crossed the enrichment threshold. We warn you
Speaker 22: when it denied IA inspectors access. We warned you when
Speaker 22: it span lives At the negotiating table.
Speaker 7: Many of you.
Speaker 22: Refused to listen. You held on to the illusion that
Speaker 22: diplomacy was walking. You convinced yourselves that silence was stability.
Speaker 22: You told yourselves the time was on your side.
Speaker 9: It wasn't.
Speaker 22: I one used diplomacy as cover. It used this console
Speaker 22: caution as protection. It used Reslution twenty two thirty one
Speaker 22: as protection while it built its dangerous arsenal.
Speaker 9: For years.
Speaker 22: What was I one met with statements, concern, condemnations, but
Speaker 22: without consequences. Israel did what responsible nations must do when
Speaker 22: faced with extermination, we took action. We moved to dismantle
Speaker 22: what the world had allowed to grow unchecked, Madam President.
Speaker 22: This Council was built to appold international law, not to
Speaker 22: be exploited by those who trample it. Today, as we speak,
Speaker 22: Iran remains untouched by consequences from the border international community.
Speaker 22: The same Iran that refused IA inspections, the seme Iran
Speaker 22: that in which Uvenium two weapons grade levels, the sem
Speaker 22: Iran that used its seat at the table to delay, deceive,
Speaker 22: and arm itself. Madam President, there is still time to
Speaker 22: take meaningful and decisive action to ensure that the threat
Speaker 22: of a nuclear Iran does not return stronger than before.
Speaker 22: The International community must be assert its authority. It must
Speaker 22: remain vigilant. It must reimpose the measures necessarily to deny
Speaker 22: Iran the tools of destruction. Must do so before the
Speaker 22: clock runs out. We are often told that diplomacy must
Speaker 22: be given a chance. It was given every chance, every round,
Speaker 22: every channel, every deadline, but so far it has failed.
Speaker 22: The regime in Tehavan never had any intention of complying. Colleagues,
Speaker 22: you know who you are dealing with. You are not
Speaker 22: engaging with a regime that negotiates in good faith. You
Speaker 22: are dealing with the masters of lies, deceit, and delay.
Speaker 22: You have seen how they respond to your usual approach,
Speaker 22: so I urge you take a different approach. Israel has
Speaker 22: done its pout, The United States has done its pout.
Speaker 22: Now the world must do its spout. Thank you, Madam President.
Speaker 3: I thank the representative of Israel for his statement. There
Speaker 3: are no more names inscribed on the list of speakers.
Speaker 3: The meeting is a john.
