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.

In an interview with Al Mayadeen, Scott Ritter, Former US Marine Corps intelligence officer, discussed the real intention behind "Israel's" invasion of Rafah. Ritter said that the operation is a strategic objective, whereby an Israeli invasion of Rafah is "the initial action of what would be a larger series of military operations that are designed to get the surviving population of Gaza removed from Gaza and move to a place outside of Gaza." He also disclosed that the US will try to "shape the political environment " by portraying "the Israeli actions as limited," despite "Israel's" clear intention that invading Rafah will not be a limited operation.
