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

Moscow and Pyongyang have vowed to support each other against foreign aggression, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on Wednesday during his visit to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).

Putin and the DPRK's leader, Kim Jong-un, signed a strategic partnership agreement during their meeting, which will act as a roadmap for future cooperation in various areas, including cultural and tourism ties, trade and economic relations, and security.

Putin described the agreement as "truly a breakthrough."

He added, “The document on comprehensive partnership that we signed today provides, among other things, for mutual aid in case of aggression against one of the participants."

Putin stated that Moscow supports Pyongyang’s right to protect its security and sovereignty from potential Western aggression. He also attributed the rising tensions in the region to the actions of the US and its allies.

"Overused Western propaganda tropes can no longer hide their aggressive geopolitical intentions, including in Northwestern Asia," the Russian president said.

Denouncing sanctions on DPRK

Putin noted that Western nations were supplying advanced weapons to Ukraine and had given Kiev the green light to strike Russia. Given these circumstances, "Russia does not rule out the development of military cooperation with the DPRK under the document signed today."

He denounced the “indefinite restrictions regime” imposed on the DPRK by the UN Security Council, which includes an arms embargo, as “orchestrated by the US,” and urged for it to be revised.

Earlier on Tuesday, Putin arrived in the DPRK for a state visit, where he was welcomed at the airport by leader Kim Jong Un.

Putin and Kim began their conversation almost immediately upon meeting. Before reaching their convoy of cars, the leaders stopped and engaged in a lively discussion for several minutes.

The Russian President was welcomed by the DPRK's honor guard battalion. After the initial greetings, Putin and Kim departed Pyongyang airport together in an Aurus car.
