Tehran measures within JCPOA framework

Sabbah Zangeneh, Iranian expert on international law stressed that Tehran measures so far have all been within the framework of the JCPOA stressing that the future step by the Islamic Republic is not counted as its withdrawal from the historical agreement, reported Taqrib News Agency (TNA).

He said,” It is the demands of Iran which defines the production or the percentage of the enrichment; hence, similar measures will not be translated to its withdrawal from JCPOA or violation of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).”

He stressed that report by IAEA observers will reveal the extent of production and percentage of the enriched uranium, all of which in full compliance with the NPT.

Iranian expert said,” Eventually the IAEA secretary general will issue his report as the Board of Governors discuss the case and the US will urge for counting Iran’s violation of while other countries will announce Iran measures will not be called withdrawal from the NPT.”

Sabah Zangeneh noted,” US will perform a full show demanding the utmost as Iran will provide its legal documents which do not mount to Tehran’s violation of the nuclear deal as the greatest violation has been by Washington as it abandoned a deal it had firstly signed.”

He added,”If a report is going to be prepared, the first and most important paragraph should detail the US withdrawal from JCPOA, a move which has been followed by a chain of measures.”

According to the Iranian political and law expert the US should stand responsible for any possible event in future of the JCPOA.

He called for a warning to be issued for the European signatories of the JCPOA to prevent any possible pressure to be imposed parallel with US pressures as they should fulfill their commitments.
