"The current situation is fundamentally no different: one more time we are urged to believe in fairy tales to bring suffering again to millions of people surviving in the mediate East".Russia argued that Tehran did not prove that it was pursuing the improvement of atomic weapons, repeating earlier assessments of American intelligence that president Donald Trump rejected as “wrong’.
Nebenzia accused Washington of inventing narratives to justify the usage of force and undermining the decades-long diplomatic framework built around Iran's peaceful atomic program.The Russian envoy besides criticised what he described as the hypocrisy of Western states that had been calling for a fewer days‘restraint’ in the same chamber of the safety Council, but they did not condemn Washington for joining Israel in its activities – and even blamed Iran for the escalation."We are witnessing an astonishing example of double standards" – he said.
"Iran was and remains 1 of the most closely controlled states within the NPT, but alternatively of encouraging specified a attitude, receives the bombing of his territory and civilian population by the state, which fundamentally refuses to sign the NPT".Nebenzia warned that US attacks undermine the authority of the global Atomic Energy Agency and the global non-proliferation regime, and continued escalation can reconstruct an era of uncontrolled atomic hazard to the world."This is simply a scandalous and cynical situation, and it is very unusual that the Director-General of the global Atomic Energy Agency has not said a word about it. He besides never called on Israel to join the NPT" added Nebenzia.In calling for urgent action, Russia, joined by China and Pakistan, submitted a motion for a resolution by the safety Council demanding an immediate and unconditional ceasefire and a return to diplomatic talks on the Iranian atomic programme.
