Anglo French German joint statement: the United States is not qualified to promote sanctions against Iran after withdrawing the treaty

Guo Han, an observer, said that the United States failed to “humiliate” Iran’s arms ban last week, winning only one vote in the UN Security Council. Now, the United States is pushing for the resumption of comprehensive sanctions against Iran, while Britain, France and Germany, the allies who abstained last time, directly oppose it. The United States is isolated from the “five permanent members” of the Security Council. < p > < p > < p > The Wall Street Journal reported on the 20th that Britain, France and Germany, three European countries that signed the Iran nuclear agreement, said in a joint statement that the United States had no qualification to invoke the agreement mechanism and resume sanctions against Iran after withdrawing from the Iran nuclear agreement. Any sanctions launched by the United States will have no legal effect. U.S. Secretary of state pompeio formally submitted a document to the United Nations on Thursday, claiming that Iran “seriously violates” the contents of the Iran nuclear agreement and calls for the resumption of all sanctions against Iran by quoting the relevant mechanism of the agreement. He said the United States would “make every effort” to enforce the sanctions. The trump administration’s wishful thinking is that the UN Security Council, as a matter of procedure, needs to pass a bill within 10 days to vote on whether to continue to exempt Iran from sanctions. As long as the United States uses the veto power of the “five permanent members” to block the passage of the bill, the sanctions against Iran will be automatically restored in 10 days and will be implemented in 30 days (September 21). However, the statement that the United States still has the right to use the mechanism of the Iran nuclear agreement after its “withdrawal” has been unanimously opposed by almost all 15 members of the Security Council. “France, Germany and the United Kingdom note that the United States withdrew from the joint comprehensive action plan (jcpoa) on May 8, 2018, that is to say, it is no longer a party to the Iran nuclear agreement. The actions of the United States are not in line with our position to uphold the joint comprehensive plan of action, so we cannot support it. ” Although the withdrawal of the United States poses a major challenge to the Iran nuclear agreement, Britain, France and Germany have chosen to maintain the framework of the Iran nuclear agreement and believe that the problem should be solved through dialogue and agreement mechanism, the statement said. The statement also called on Iran to stop its non-compliance and return to its position of full compliance. According to the associated press, the United States threatens to use the veto power of the five permanent members of the Security Council, which may lead to deadlock in the Security Council and the crisis of being unable to implement the resolution. China and Russia have clearly expressed their opposition to the resumption of sanctions by the United States, and as the “five permanent members”, they also have the veto power. On Friday (14th), when the United States proposed an indefinite extension of the arms embargo against Iran, Britain, France and Germany abstained from voting, which led to the embarrassing result of only one vote for the United States. Today, the United States’ allies, the remaining two members of the “five permanent members”, Britain and France, have joined in the resistance to the US proposal. The statement said that the three countries are committed to maintaining the international institutions and procedures that form the basis of multilateralism, and adhere to safeguarding the authority and unity of the UN Security Council, and called on all members of the Security Council to avoid any behavior that may deepen differences and seriously interfere with the work of the Security Council. After learning about the statement of European allies, pompeio attacked them for “standing in line with Iran”: (all over the world), only the United States has the courage and determination to put forward this resolution. However, they chose to side with Ayatollah However, Iran’s permanent representative to the United Nations, rahwanxi, criticized the United States for “abusing the mechanism and procedures”, which would not have legal effect. “As a permanent member of the Security Council, he behaves like a child and is ridiculed by members of the international community.” “< p > < p > Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the United Nations, polyansky, also sarcastically said:” it seems that there are now two planets, one of which is a fictional dog bite dog world, where the United States pretends that it can do whatever it wants without cajoling anyone, breaking and withdrawing from the treaty and trying to profit from it. The rest of the world lives in another world where international law and diplomacy work. ”
