BREAKING
Araghchi: Iran adopted a constructive approach in its engagement to ensure the European Union and the E3 fully honored their commitments and lifted all sanctions.
Araghchi: After a year of Iran’s full compliance with the agreement, it began implementing gradual, proportionate, and reversible compensatory steps in accordance with its recognized rights under the deal.
Araghchi: Iran demonstrated the utmost restraint in the face of repeated and fundamental violations and made extensive efforts to restore balance and preserve the agreement.
In his letter, Araghchi stated: The E3 failed to fulfill their obligations and instead imposed additional illegal sanctions on Iranian individuals and institutions.
Araghchi: These coercive measures constituted a grave violation of international law and the UN Charter, causing severe disruption in the implementation of the agreement.
Araghchi: Washington initially refrained from fulfilling its commitments, then withdrew from the agreement, reimposed its illegal and unilateral sanctions, and even expanded them.
Araghchi: UN Security Council Resolution 2231 has expired and fully ceased to be in effect as of today, in accordance with its explicit provisions.
Iranian Foreign Ministry: Reimposing sanctions on Iran is illegal

    Merkel: "For us, Ukraine is and will remain a gas transit country even once Nord Stream 2 is completed"

On Monday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel assured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that “natural gas transit through Ukraine would continue even after the controversial Nord Stream 2 pipeline linking the country with Russia is completed.”

"Ukraine is and will remain a gas transit country even once Nord Stream 2 is completed," Merkel said in a Berlin press conference alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Merkel stated that "there are big worries about this on the Ukrainian side and we take those worries seriously", adding, "we would do everything we can to guarantee the key revenue source for Ukraine."

Zelensky reiterated his view on Nord Stream 2 as "a potential security threat to Ukraine."

The Nord Stream 2 Project was welcomed by both Berlin and Russia, since it links the two countries and would allow additional Russian gas to flow directly to Germany. Nonetheless, the project is fiercely opposed by Washington.

Nord Stream AG CEO Matthias Warnig said, "We expect the construction work to be finished by the end of August."

White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said, "The US will continue to impose sanctions against Russian companies participating in the Nord Stream 2 project." Meanwhile, the US State Department Spokesman stated that Washington considers the Russian project “a threat to energy security in Europe and Ukraine," and is primarily "a geopolitical project."
