EU: We adhere to a diplomatic solution for Iran’s nuclear issue

Although Iran has insisted that the production and use of nuclear weapons has no place in Iran’s defense doctrine, and the International Atomic Energy Agency has not yet confirmed Western claims to have military targets in Iran’s nuclear program, the European Union’s permanent representation of the European Union said:

“We are reminded of Iran’s binding obligations under the Nuclear Nuclear Development Agreement (NPT) and other obligations to the World Regulations,” said Iran’s permanent representative in a statement issued at a meeting at the third preliminary committee of the Conference on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. The European Union adheres to a diplomatic solution to deal with Iran’s nuclear issue. We urge all countries to implement the UN Security Council’s Code (the Legal Document of the Nuclear Agreement in Year 2).

The statement claimed that the risk of proliferation of nuclear weapons in the region has increased due to an increase in Iran’s nuclear activities. Iran’s nuclear progress in the last five years is very worrying. Iran is the only country lacking nuclear weapons that organically produced and accumulated uranium. So far, Iran has accumulated more than 2 significant amounts of enriched materials up to 5 % (the amount that the International Atomic Energy Agency defines as the minimum amount needed to build a nuclear explosive device).

The statement claimed: Iran’s actions cover very significant risks related to proliferation (nuclear weapons) and have no credible civilian justification. In this regard, we are concerned about Iranian officials’ statements about Iran’s capacity to build a nuclear weapon. We urge Iran to return to the temporary implementation of the Additional Protocol, to strive to adopt it and resume all regulatory and verification measures related to the Brjam (nuclear deal).

“We urge Iran to reverse its nuclear worrying procedure to return to its obligations to the prohibition of nuclear weapons.” We are looking forward to publishing the IAEA Director General as soon as possible.

Despite the denial of Iran’s claim of military support for Russia in the war with Ukraine by Tehran and Moscow, the EU also condemned Iran’s military support to Russia, including the delivery of ballistic missiles, which is a huge threat to Europe and international peace and security.

Iranian officials have insisted that despite the apparent military intervention of Western Kiev’s allies in the war, it does not support any of the parties, and Iran -Russia military cooperation is done only within the framework of bilateral defense relations, which is unrelated to the Ukrainian war.

Ukraine War and the risk of nuclear crisis

Another part of the EU’s representation statement referred to the Russian invasion of Ukraine: Russia’s full -fledged attack on Ukraine is a clear violation of the UN Charter and International Law and has many serious threats to global security.

The European Union’s representative, referring to the nuclear dangers of military attacks in the war, added: “Russia’s actions, including unnecessary attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, are a serious threat to the safety and security of its nuclear facilities.” The status of the Zapurgia nuclear power plant in Ukraine, which has been illegally occupied and militarized by Russia, is still unstable.

North Korea’s nuclear activities

Referring to North Korea’s nuclear activities, the European Union’s representative said: “North Korea should stop all illegal and stabilized arrangements that threaten regional and international peace and security and adhere to its obligations to UN Security Council resolutions.” North Korea must take the tangible steps to completely eliminate, verify and irreversible weapons of mass destruction programs, ballistic missiles and nuclear programs.

North Korea will never be accepted as a nuclear weapons country in the Nuclear Weapons Development Treaty and will not receive any special situation in this regard, the statement said. We are concerned about Russia’s worrying change in North Korea’s nuclear disarmament. We call on North Korea, as a nuclear weapon country, to fully adhere to the Nuclear Weapons Development Agreement and the IAEA Comprehensive Agreement and implement the Additional Protocol.

Interaction of the new government ruling Syria with the International Atomic Energy Agency

Another part of the statement referred to the Syrian sacrifice issues: the European Union supports the IAEA’s Director General’s Interaction with Syria. We welcome the process of enlightening the remaining issues of the safeguard that began last year. The European Union calls on the Syrian authorities to have a constructive cooperation agency on non -solved problems related to the Assad regime’s nuclear activities, especially through information providing information.

“We strongly encourage Syria to approve and implement the Additional Protocol without further delay,” the European Union’s representative added.
