Highlights of United Nations resolution endorsing Iran nuclear deal
Zarif and his entourage returned to Tehran on Wednesday morning, a day after Iran and the West reached a historic nuclear deal.
Meanwhile, commander of Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Brigadier General Mohammad-Ali Jafari, hours before the resolution approval described as void any resolution in contravention of Iran’s red lines.
“We will never accept it”, Jafari told Iranian news agency Tasnim, emphasizing that he was speaking as a member of the military.
According to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll, 56 percent of Americans support the nuclear deal, which places restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program while offering economic sanctions relief for compliance with the agreement.
The agreement also faces opposition in some Middle East states, including Israel and Saudi Arabia.
As U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter walked along an Israeli lookout near the border with Lebanon, Israel’s Defence Minister Moshe Yaalon turned to him and said: “Probably Hezbollah is watching us”. Parliament’s role is not clear.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and hardliners have started to attack the deal and have also hit out at a UN Security Council resolution passed on Monday endorsing it. There is bipartisan skepticism about whether this deal can prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon and bipartisan concern over allowing the leading exporter of terrorism access to well over $100 billion in cash.
LYNDHURST-While U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-9) says he has not yet had the time to fully review the Iran nuclear deal, the congressman says that his initial response to deal is that it is “moving in the right direction”.
Iran’s United Nations Ambassador, Gholamali Khoshroo, rejected the USA accusations as baseless.
Netanyahu added that the United Nations decision was not “the end of the story” as long as US sanctions on Iran remained in place. The Council’s adoption of the current resolution triggers the JCPOA coming into effect in 90 days.
Some countries are already keen to do business with the oil exporter.
Once sanctions are lifted, “Iran will now have $150bn (£96.2, €138bn) to fund terrorist groups”, said Prosor, “until this map becomes entirely red”. Germany was a major trade partner in the 1990s and more than 200,000 Iranians live there.
With the resolution in force, India can proceed with some of the projects it has initiated in Iran without fear of worldwide reprisals.
Carter, standing at the Hussein Lookout, not far from the northern Israeli border town of Manara, promised to help, trying to reassure Israel of steadfast US support following last week’s deal between Tehran and six world powers. “But we can talk about these differences of opinion”.
