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

Taiwan's President-elect Lai Ching-te has announced new appointments to his security and diplomacy teams.

National Security Council Secretary-General Wellington Koo is set to become defense minister. Current Foreign Minister Joseph Wu will take over as head of the National Security Council.

Additionally, Lin Chia-lung, currently serving as secretary-general at the Presidential Office, will assume the role of foreign minister, according to Lai's statement on Wednesday.

Furthermore, the President-elect emphasized that China ought to have the confidence to confront the legitimately elected government of Taiwan, instead of solely interacting with opposition parties with preconditions.

Earlier in January, Lai vowed to defend the island from what he called "intimidation" by China.

In that context, on Tuesday, April 23, the US Congress approved a legislative package that includes security assistance for Ukraine, "Israel", and Taiwan.

In turn, China expressed opposition to including "Taiwan-related content" in a four-bill package passed by the US Congress that included military aid to Taipei, its Taiwan Affairs Office said on Wednesday.

The country urged the US to fulfill its commitment to not interfere with Taiwan and stop arming it in any way, its spokesperson said.
