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

As tensions between Beijing and Washington escalate, China warned Tuesday that the US will "pay the price" if US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visits Taiwan.

"The US side will bear the responsibility and pay the price for undermining China's sovereign security interests," Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Hua Chunying said at a regular press briefing.

Beijing pledges to deliver harsh response

China will take decisive efforts to preserve the national sovereignty and territorial integrity of US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's trips to Taiwan, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying on Tuesday, ahead of Pelosi's likely visit.

"We pay close attention to Pelosi's route, and if the US acts without regard to the opinions of others, China will certainly take decisive and tough measures to protect sovereignty and security interests," Hua told a briefing.

In another context, China is not prepared to participate in discussions on the New START (Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty) with the US and Russia because its nuclear stockpile is far smaller, said Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Hua Chunying on Tuesday.

"China's nuclear arsenal is not on the scale of the US. It is unfair and irrational to ask China to join the multilateral disarmament process at this stage," Hua told a briefing.

Some US politicians openly ‘play with fire’ when it comes to Taiwan issue

Some US politicians are openly playing with fire when it comes to the Taiwan issue in pursuit of their own interests, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Tuesday ahead of a possible visit of US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan later in the day.

"Some politicians in the US are openly playing with fire in regard with the Taiwan issue in pursuit of their own interests," the Minister said in a statement.

The US is violating its obligations on Taiwan, which further undermines confidence in Washington, the minister added.
