TEHRAN The envoys of Britain, France and Germany to Tehran were summoned to the Iranian Foreign Ministry on Thursday to highly protest the 3 European countries for conspiring with the United States in abusing the UN Security Council system by holding a closed-door session on Irans peaceful nuclear program.The Foreign Ministry Director General for Peace and International Security stated the move is reckless and provocative.The 3 European nations, though party to the 2015 nuclear arrangement, have declined to honor their commitments under the accord to lift sanctions on Iran.The United States quit the nuclear agreement, officially referred to as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), in May 2018 in offense of UN Security Council resolution 2231 and reinstated sanctions.The Foreign Ministry main advised these points to the diplomats from the 3 European countries: Irans tranquil nuclear program is fully certified with its rights and responsibilities under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and the Safeguards Agreement.
