António Guterres

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres have held a phone conversation to discuss regional developments, including the situations in Gaza and Yemen.

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has criticized the United States and three European nations for attempting to leverage the snapback mechanism of the 2015 nuclear deal to reimpose expired United Nations sanctions against Tehran.

Russia has strongly rejected Western attempts to revive UN sanctions on Iran through the so-called “snapback” mechanism, with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stressing in a letter to UN Secretary-General António Guterres that neither the Secretary-General nor the Secretariat has any mandate to act on such claims.

United Nations Secretary-General on Tuesday called on Iran and Western countries to intensify diplomatic efforts to prevent the so-called snapback of international sanctions on Tehran initiated by E3 last month.

Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi has denounced the three European nations for their "irresponsible" approach to the recent aggression against Iran by the United States and Israel, as well as their threat to restore the canceled UN Security Council resolutions, which he believes will only exacerbate the existing tensions.

In an open letter to UN Secretary-General António Guterres , 165 Iranian women athletes demanded the immediate and unconditional release of Mahdieh Esfandiari, detained in France for her public support of the people of Gaza.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stressed that the Islamic Republic is committed to resolving outstanding issues, including the nuclear file, through dialogue and diplomatic channels. He also urged international organizations, especially the United Nations, to take stronger and more practical action against the crimes and provocations of the Zionist regime in the region.
