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

The Chinese State Council approved Sunday the composition of Hong Kong's new government proposed by Hong Kong Chief Executive-elect John Lee, the Hong Kong government announced.

Former police officer and security secretary John Lee Ka-Chiu had won the post of Hong Kong Chief Executive after an uncontested election saw him garnering 99.16% of the vote.

"The Central People's Government (CPG) today approved the appointments of principal officials of the sixth-term Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government on the nomination of Chief Executive-elect John Lee," the government said in a press release.

The cabinet consists of 26 members, and the posts of Chief Secretary would be assigned to Chan Kwok-ki and Secretary for Justice to Paul Lam.

The Hong Kong electoral legislation stipulates that the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China be elected for a five-year term by the 1,500 members of the election committee, religious communities, and members of parliament and local organizations.

The elected Chief Executive served as Hong Kong Secretary for Security during the 2019 protests that had been ongoing in the city for over a year at the time, earning him a spot on a sanctions list in the United States, which accused him of "undermining Hong Kong autonomy."

John Lee's candidacy received the support of the Chinese government for what reports have claimed was his stance in favor of Beijing, which hopes to enhance ties with Hong Kong. 

Beijing adheres to the principle of "one country, two systems" when it comes to governing Hong Kong, and, as per a declaration signed with the United Kingdom, the region would retain broad autonomy until 2047.
