While French President Emmanuel Macron said that Saudi Arabia should be included in the Iranian nuclear agreement, the Iranian Foreign Ministry said on the 30th (local time) that there could be no new negotiations or change of parties to the negotiations.
According to Reuters, in an interview with the state media, spokesman for Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs Said Hativjade, “the nuclear agreement is a multilateral international agreement, approved through UN Security Council Resolution 2231.” Told.
In April 2015, Iran agreed on a Comprehensive Joint Action Plan (JCPOA) to resolve the Iranian nuclear issue with P5+1 (the United States, Britain, France, China and Russia plus five nuclear countries + Germany). The key point of the agreement is to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons in exchange for sanctions easing.
However, Iran responded that when the then-U.S. President Donald Trump unilaterally declared withdrawal from the nuclear agreement and restored sanctions in May 2018, it would begin enriching uranium that greatly exceeds the standards stipulated in the nuclear agreement.
The Joe Biden administration has suggested it will rejoin the Iranian nuclear deal to limit Iran’s nuclear program. However, it was premised that Iran must fully comply with the terms of the agreement.
Saudi Arabia and its allies, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), are saying that if the negotiations go back, the Arab countries in the Gulf region should participate this time. They argue that Iran’s ballistic missile program and Iran’s support of extremist groups in the region should also be addressed in negotiations.
In an interview with Al-Arabian TV on the 29th, President Macron emphasized that it was a mistake to exclude other countries in the region from the 2015 negotiations, and that this time it is necessary to avoid it.
President Marong said any new negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program would be “strict,” and said there is not much time left to prevent Iran from possessing nuclear weapons.
On the day, spokesman Hativjade said President Macron “must show restraint.” “If French officials are concerned about the sale of weapons to the Gulf Arab countries, it would be a good idea to rethink the policy of their assets.” “French weapons, along with other Western weapons, are not only causing the massacre of thousands of Yemeni, It is the main cause,” he rebelled.
