sides at peace. Yes, Israel is right that that as part of the Islamic regime when when they took took power in nineteen seventy nine, uh of Iran, that that part of that, that of that takeover, that what that platform was the destruction of Israel. The destruction of Israel as not as as in kill all the Jewish people,

but the destruction of Israel as a colony. That is starting the lives of the Palestinians, because all the Palestinians had to be removed from the areas in which they were moving the Jews they had suffered from the Holocaust kind of by an ironic thing. But that doesn't mean that a peace cannot be found. They will put everyone in the region at ease. The question is from nineteen forty something to today, why haven't we found that solution? Why is it a constant thing through the United Nations?

Which sometimes I, I, I, you, we do have to question, is the United Nations act be acting fairly or they more tipped towards the Israeli side than they are to towards the a neutral position between Israel and Iran. And one of the questions would be, would would be to ask yourself why that would be. But this situation is I is right now that Israel in a er in Iran are not firing rockets at each other. Is Israel is claiming supremacy over the air space in the Middle

East right now, and Iran is shaking its head? What is really? Why are we being demonized? So one of the things that I know from growing up in North America that we were taught that from the time of nineteen eighties, something that it ran was eating in a betting terrorists. Well kind of interesting thing that was happening at the particular time when they really started talking about terrorism is that the Cold War with Russia was really

kind of coming to an end. The Burline Wall was about to fall, and arms dealers needed a new target to test their weapons on so that they could sell more weapons. But we're not going to go down that road. Just some things to think about, some things something we as the public, we need to think about. What is happening?

Why is it there from nineteen forty to nineteen to twenty twenty five, we haven't been able to find a permanent solution that would develop a piece between different groups in in Lebanon who are pro Palestinian, the Palestinians themselves, and Iran, who is also pro Palestinian. Why haven't we been able to develop a true piece that would wash over the land and everybody could live happily together, because

ultimately that what has to happen. We're not gonna answer a whole bunch of those questions with this next nearly two hour recording of you and security Cancel as they discuss back and forth different countries voicing their opinion about the conflict between Israel and Iran. And at the end we're gonna hear from the Israel ambassador as he says that they pray three times a day for peace in the Middle East. So why don't we get started with

that recording? I don't want to take too long in an introduction, because I want you to be able to go back and forth and be able to do whatever it is also you're doing. And listen to this recording of the Uncle as they talk about the non proliferation of Iran's.

of the Council's Provisional Rules of Procedure. I invite the following briefers to participate in this meeting.

its consideration of Item two of the agenda. I wish to draw the attention of Council members to Document s Slash twenty twenty five Slash three three five, a letter dated twenty eight of May twenty twenty five from the President of the Security Council acting in the absence of a facilitator for the implementation of Resolution twenty two thirty one, addressed to the President of the Security Council, and document s Slash twenty twenty five three ninety seven, the nineteenth

Report of the Secretary General on the implementation of Security Council Resolution twenty two to thirty one. At this meeting, the Council will give here briefings by Miss Rose Marie de Carlo, His Excellency, Missus Stavros Lamborgnidies, and Ambassador Samuel S. Bogar, Permanent Representative of Slovenia in his capacity a Security Council facilitator for the implementation of Resolution twenty two thirty one. I now give the floor to Miss rose Marie de Carlo.

The JCPOWA was adopted in two thy fifteen to ensure that the Islamic Republic of Iran's nuclear program would be exclusively peaceful. It included sanctions relief, nuclear program restrictions, and monitoring and verification. The JCPOA has faced many challenges since its inception, including the withdrawal of the United States from the agreement in twenty eighteen and Iran's withdrawal from some

of its commitments as outlined in the plan. Still, over the last few months, JCPOWA participants increased their efforts to identify a way forward for full implementation of the plan. In addition, Iran and the United States engaged in five rounds of bilateral talks facilitated by Oman. Regrettably, neither of these initiatives produced a way forward to ensuring the peaceful

nature of Iran's nuclear program. The military escalation between Israel and Iran since thirteen June, and United States air strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities on twenty one June complicated prospects for achieving full implementation of Resolution twenty two thirty one. Iran strikes yesterday an Abase in Qatar, an action which the Secretary General condemned, further exacerbated insecurity in an already

tense region, Madam President. Earlier today, the Secretary General welcomed the announcement by the United States in coordination with Katar, of a cease fire agreement between Israel and Iran and urged them to respect it fully. This is a significant achievement that potentially pulls Iran, Israel, and the region back from the brink. The people of Iran in Israel have

already suffered too much. According to the Iranian Ministry of Health, since the start of the conflict, at least six hundred six people have been killed, with one hundred seven killed in the past twenty four hours and five thousand, three hundred thirty two injured. According to Israeli authorities, twenty eight people were killed and one thousand, four hundred seventy two

were injured during the conflict, Madame President. In its quarterly report of thirty one May twenty twenty five, the International Atomic Energy Agency observed that the significantly increase production and accumulation of highly enriched uranium by the Islamic Republic of Iran was of serious concern. The IAEA reiterated that its verification and monitoring activities related to the JCPAA have been seriously affected by the secession of implementation by Iran of

its nuclear related commitments under the plan. The agency also again noted that it had lost its continuity of knowledge on many aspects of Iran's nuclear program as it had not been able to perform verification and monitoring activities in the Islamic Republic of Iran for more than four years. In addition, the IAEA noted it was unable to verify the total stockpile of enriched uranium in the country and

had not done so since February twenty twenty one. During the reporting period, the Secretary General received several communications from JCPOWA participants. On seventeen March, the Permanent representatives of China, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the Russian Federation shared a joint statement adopted at their meeting of fourteen March in Beijing, in which they stress the importance of Resolution

twenty two thirty one, including its time frames. In a separate letter received the same day, the Permanent Representative of China shared a proposal for the settlement of the Iranian nuclear issue, highlighting the JCPOWA as the basis for a new consensus and cooperation through dialog and a step by

step and reciprocal approach. In letters received on nine eleven and twelve June, the Permanent Representatives of France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the US, Islamic Republic of Iran, and the Russian Federation shared their different views regarding the causes of the impasse in the implementation of Resolution twenty two thirty one. Despite their diverging outlooks, all five member states reiterated the importance of negotiations and reaffirmed their commitment to finding a

diplomatic solution. Madame President will now turn to the restrictive measures set out in Annex B to Resolution twenty two thirty one. The only measures that remain in effect pertain to nuclear activities and transfers. Those measures will remain in place until eighteen October twenty twenty five, unless decided otherwise by the Council. The Secretariat received no allegations of violations

of these provisions during the reporting period. Moreover, no new proposals have been submitted in the Procurement channel in the last six months of the reporting cycle. The Security Council, however, received eight notifications regarding the nuclear related restrictive measures for certain activities consistent with the jcpowa Madam President, at the heart of this conflict is the nature of Iran's nuclear program.

Following the deadly clashes of the past twelve days, the ceasefire agreement is an opportunity to avoid a catastrophic escalation and achieve a peaceful resolution of the Iran nuclear issue. Diplomacy, dialogue and verification remained the best option to ensure the exclusively peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program and to bring

about concrete economic benefits to the people of Iran. As the Secretary General said earlier today, the United Nations stands ready to support all efforts that advance peace, dialogue and stability in the region. And finally, Madame President, the Secretariat will continue to support the implementation of twenty two thirty

one until the termination date of eighteen October. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank his Excellency Samuel's Bogar of Slovenia for his leadership as Security Council Facilitator for the implementation of the resolution. I also think the Coordinator of the Procurement Working Group of the Joint Commissioner for our continued cooperation. Thank you, Madame President.

the facilitator of Resolution twenty two thirty one. We take note of the nineteenth Report of the Sectary General on the implementation of Resolution twenty two thirty one. This session takes place under most serious circumstances, with a dangerous cycle of escalation following military action against nuclear related sites in Iran. In view of this, the UN Sectary General on Sunday stated in this Council that there is a growing risk that this conflict could rapidly get out of control, with

catastrophic consequences for civilians, the region and the world. We welcome the announced tease fire and urge all sides to

effectively implement it. The Representative is engaged and has been following very closely the situation in the Middleast and retiates the EU's strong commitment to regional security, including the security of the State of Israel, and the call on all sides to abide by international law so restraint and refrained from taking further steps which could lead to serious consequences

such as potential radioactive release. Man in President ensuring that Iran does not acquire or developed the nuclear weapon remains a q security priority for the European Union.

In the special session of the IA Board of Governors in twenty three June, dig Grassi raised the need to account for the stockpile of highly enriched uranium following the events of the last days. Moreover, it has been more than four years that the agency has not been able to perform all JCPUA related monitoring activities and has therefore lost the continuity of knowledge as regards several key components

of the nuclear program of Iran. We continue to recognize that Iran has faced and continues facing, very serious negative economic consequences following the US's withdrawal from the JCPUA and the reimposition of previously lifted ucinlateral sanctions. The US has also gradually imposed additional sanctions linked to the nuclear program.

Many efforts have been made to preserve the JESPOA, notably when the High Representative put forward a compromised text laying down the necessary steps needed for the US to return to the j CPOA and for Iran to resume the full implementation of its commitments. These efforts did not lead to the expected results, and we are now in the

current situation, Madame President. In four months from now, the Security Council will no longer be seized of the Iran nuclear issue under Resolution twenty two thirty one, and we urgently need to come back to a diplomatic solution. Let us be clear in what will be the last session in this format under uns ARE twenty two thirty one, A lasting solution to the Iranian nuclear issue can only

be through a negotiated deal, not military action. A fully functioning nuclear deal will be conducive to the stabilization of the whole region. Last Friday, as part of an intense diplomatic engagement, EU High Representative Callous, together with the Foreign ministers of France, Germany and the United Kingdom, met with the Uranian Foreign Minister in Geneva. They retreated the long standing concerns about Iran's expansion of its nuclear program and

their discussed avenues towards a negotiated solution. The matter can only be addressed in a sustainable manner with the adequate involvement of the international community. Moreover, the IAA is and should remain the sole, impartial and independent international organization to monitor and verify the implementation of Iran's nuclear non nonpremeration commitments. Diplomacy,

Madame President, must prevail. The European UNIONIGH representative will continue to contribute to all diplomatic efforts to reduce tensions and to find a lasting solution to the Iran nuclear issue.

to see consensus and compromise in preparing the report. As this is Lavinia's first report as facilitator since taking up the role on twenty ninth May twenty twenty five. I'm especially grateful for everyone's kind support and the extra flexibility is shown due to resulting time constraints. The report provides a factual account of the activities related to the twenty two thirty one format of the Security Council, which took place from fourteenth December twenty twenty four to twenty third

June twenty twenty five. It includes several subsections, namely the summaries of activities, monitoring implementation of the resolution, relevant communications, key aspects of the workings of the Procurement Channel, as well as transparency, outreach and guidance. You may refer to the report for details, but I wish to mention the following key aspects. First one meeting of the Council in the twenty two thirty one foremat was held during this

reporting period. The meeting was held on twenty third June twenty twenty five and representatives of the Security Council discussed the findings and recommendations contained in the ninetieth Report of the Secretary General on the Implementation of Resolution twenty two thirty one prior to its public release. Under Secretary General Di Carlo has already referred to this report in her statement. Second, during the reporting period, a total of nineteen notes were

circulated within the twenty two thirty one format. In addition, a total of ten official communications were sent to Member States and the Coordinator of the Procurement Working Group of the Joint Commission, and a total of ten communications from member States and the Coordinator were received. Among the communications circulated to the two regular quarterly reports issued by the Terraational Atomic Energy Agency in February and May twenty twenty five.

The key aspects of these agency reports are duly reflected in my report.

in this framework. I reiterated a joint comprehensive plan of action as indoors by this Council to Resolution twenty two toir ty one has been the best available option to ensure that the Iranian nuclear program remains exclusively peaceful. The twenty two thirty one format is obviously facing a challenging environment and the situation in the region is unfolding, as exemplified also by numerous letters submitted to the Security Council

President in the last couple of weeks. I firmly believe, however, that through dialog and multilateralism, we can make the utmost effort in ensuring that the plan and Resolution twenty two thirty one are implemented efficiently, effectively, promoting mutual strust and cooperation in this regard. We hope for diplomatic efforts to

find a way forward, Madame President. Finally, I would like to state that as facilitator, I will do my utmost to support implementation of Resolution twenty two thirty one under JCPOA which underpins it. My team and myself will continue to work closely with all Council members in an impartial and transparent manner to meet our shared responsibility. I look forward to further strengthening our dialogue and corporation for the remainder of our mandate.

of UN Security Council resolutions. Moreover, Iran did not comply with relevant twenty two to thirty one provisions when they were in place, as evidence by hundreds of drones it transferred to Russia in twenty twenty two for use in attacks against Ukraine. Iran's failure to uphold its non proliferation obligations has prolonged conflicts and perpetuated instability across the Middle

East and beyond for many years. The International Atomic Energy agencies most recent report on Verification and Monitoring in Iran in light of UN Security Council Resolution twenty two to thirty one demonstrates plainly that Iran continued to accelerate its nuclear activities without any credible civilian justification. On June twelfth, the IAEA Board of Governors found Iran in non compliance

for its many failures to uphold obligatory nuclear safeguards. It is regrettable that certain members of this Council have opted to turn a blind eye to, if not encourage, Iranian non compliance. The United States will not turn a blind eye to Iran's non compliance, end ongoing threat to regional stability, Madam President. President Trump has clearly reiterated that it is

time for Iran to make peace. Despite the President's continuous good faith efforts to negotiate and resolve these issues diplomatically, Iran's leader's stonewalld and ultimately refuse to agree to a deal that would have prevented them from ever obtaining a

nuclear weapon. On June twenty first, a US precision operation effectively fulfilled are narrow objective to degrade Iran's capacity to produce a nuclear weapons in accordance with the inherent right to self defense, collective self defense consistent with the UN Charter, aimed to mitigate the threat posed by Iran to Israel, the region, and to more broadly, international peace and security. Following this historic operation, President Trump immediately coordinated a ceasefire

between Israel and Iran. Madam President, In this critical moment, we must all urge Iran to seize this opportunity for peace and prosperity and abide by its international obligations.

While an President, this is potentially the last regular Council meeting about the implementation of JCPOA and Resolution twenty two thirty one, it seems like an era is coming to a close, and it is uncertain what the ensuing era will bring.

the important remarks and valuable contributions. We welcome the Sector Journal's report, which we have firms that diplomacy remains the best and indeed the only viable part for addressing concerns relating to nuclear program and regional security. We are deeply concerned by report of Iran's decision to enrich reunion beyond research greate thresholds in contravention of its obligations on the

Article Free of the NPT. Such enrichment risks erode in confidence in the exclusively peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear activities and raises legitimate questions regarding compliance with its safeguards.

non prolification framework for Iran. Its provisions regarding nuclear related transfers, verification measures, and the procumming Channel will sunset on eighteenth October twenty twenty five. A failure to achieve measurable progress by that date would weaken the Council's authority, undermine the global non prolification architecture, and erode confidence in the MPTY three pillars non Policlification, disarmarament and Peaceful use of nuclear energy.

with devastating consequences for civilians and environment. Should further strikes occur on safeguarded nuclear facilities, this Council must be prepared to act decisively in the discharge of its primary responsibility to maintain international peace and security. Madame President Celin comments the JCPO coordinators continued effort to engage all participants, including the United States, in pursuit of full implementation of the plan.

We welcome the full new notifications under ann XPEE of Resolution twenty two thirty one, which reflect ongoing legitimate nuclear corporation. We call on all states to safeguard the integrity of the procurement channel and to refrain from any actions that might undermine DICIPO a commitment or jeopardize the diplomatic momentum vital to non prolification efforts to advance Resolution twenty two thirty one, strengthen the mpity and avert for the escalation.

Selem proposes a fulling five point as a good map. First, we respect to the ongoing conflict and which I shall return to shortly. We urge the augent's need for a comprehensive cease fire, an immediate cization of all reciprocal strikes, and sustain measures to de escalate tensions and return to dialogue. We welcome the announcement of a cease fire reported reach between Israel and Iran as announced by President Donald Trump of the United States, and may urge the parties to

demonstrate good faith and fully comply with disagreement. Second, full and unixcated IE verification consistent with AMPUTI save Guards, including the prompt reactivation of all monetary equipment and comprehensive application of all additional protocol. Third, the revival of the joint Comprehensive Plan of Action to sustain coordinated diplomacy involving the

E three, Iran, the United States and Regional Partners partners. Fourth, continued operation of the Procurement Channel and calibrated sanctioned relief linked to verifiable compliance as a means of building confidence

in legitimate, peaceful nuclear trade. Fifth, and finally, the exploration of additional confidence building measures, including IE supervised fuel swaps, an intensified regional dialogue aim at establishing a Middle East zone free of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction.

Madame President, turning briefly to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran with the involvement of the United States, sclely calls a statement of twenty and twenty second June twenty twenty five, in which we caution that recent military escalation as gravely on the mind diplomatic effort essential to diffuse in this crisis. We're equally concerned by Iran's missile strikes on twenty third June against a United States military base

in Kata. While Katter's air defenses successfully intercepted the missiles as reported and prevented casualties, these attacks grigged regional airspace closures and heighting instability. Such actions could imperial diplomatic channels and risks drawing additional actors into a broader regional conflict. We continue to retigate the centrality of Article two four of the UN Charter and stress that no reliance on Article fifty one can justify violations of this fundamental prohibition

on the use of force. On this International Day of Women in Diplomacy, we join in echoing a sexual General's call to an I coulte give peace a chance end of court through an immediacys fire, the escalation, sustained diplomacy and the urgent resumption of negotiations enclosing Madam precedent on the scores the imperative of upholding the un chatter in good faith, particularly Articles two twenty five and one or three, which enshrine the primacy of peaceful dispute resolution and the

binding nature of Council's decision in this regard. With the sunset of Resolution twenty two thirty one looming on eighteenth October twenty twenty five, the clock is ticking. Member State must now rise to the challenge and demonstrate the state craft demanded by the Charter's obligation. This moment must be ceased to enforce the global non qualification regim advance disarmament, facilitate peaceful nuclear corporations, and we affirmed a collective commitment under the MPT.

and the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action KCPOA. We take out of the Secretary General's nineteenth reports on the implementation of Resolution two to three one of twenty fifteen and the Joint Commission's Report on the status of the Procurbent Work Group Decisions Madame President, Resolution two two three one and the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action represents significant achievements of multilateral deplovacy, and we continue to view them as vital pillars for regional and international.

The latest IAEA reports have indicated Iran's continuous and rapid expansion of its uranium enrichment activities, and the IAEA Director General's comprehensive assessment has concluded that the agency is not in a position to verify that Iran's nuclear program is exclusively peaceful. Consequently, the IAEA Board of Governors adopted the

Resolution on Iran's Outstanding Safeguard Issues Madame President. As a result of this persistent trust gap, which Iran has long dismissed and failed to properly address, we have witnessed a military conflict unfold over the past twelve days, which has been a source of grave concern for US. We now find ourselves entering a new phase. Nevertheless, we note that even after the ceasefire, the limited availability of relevant information

is causing considerable uncertainty. This uncertainty makes it challenging to accurately assess the situation on the ground and to consider the appropriate path forward. And precisely because of such uncertainties, our objective, as embodied in Resolution twenty to thirty one, remains unchanged. We have consistency worked to ensure the exclusively peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear activities. To this end, it is critical that the IAEA is monitoring and the verification

activities continue without hindrance. As a first step, we therefore expect Iran to fully guarantee the IAEA is unhindered access

in the aftermath of the ceasefire. This will also enable the agency to promptly resume its monitoring and the verification activities in Iran in accordance with its mandate on nuclear safety, security and safeguards, Madame President, while the Iranian nuclear issue remains unresolved, we note with the concern that Security Council Resolution twenty to thirty one is set to expire this October without further action. The answer is a direct mandate on the Iranian nuclear file will lapse.

been managing its nuclear program for many years. Firstly, Madame France welcomes the announcement by the United States of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. Since the thirteenth of June, we followed with concern the strikes, the exchanges between Iran and Israel, and then the US strikes against three Iranian and nuclear facilities. There is a major risk for escalation,

which could have serious consequences for regional stability. The seasefire must now lead to a complete cessation of hostilities, which we call on all parties to respect. It is in the interest of everyone to avoid a new cycle of violence.

The ceasefire must allow for the resumption of negotiations on the Iranian nuclear issue and on all of the security challenges posed by Iran, and that is why we call The Minister of Foreign Affairs with the British, EU and UK counterparts, has contacted the Iranian Foreign Minister in Geneva last Friday.

back to two thousand and three. The nuclear issue is the very reason dead of the twenty fifteen agreement with the E three plus three, as well as Resolution twenty two to thirty one, through which this Council had endorsed this agreement. Since then, the Europeans have continued to implement their commitments under the agreement, including after following the withdrawal

of the United States in twenty eighteen. Iran has taken the responsibility in twenty nineteen of ceasing to implement its commitments. As you will recall, we use the mechanism for dispute settlements under the agreement. The three then carried out diplomatic efforts to achieve the return of the US to the agreement and to bring Iran to respect its commitments and in point of fact, in twenty and twenty two Iran had two revised proposals, and we regret the fact that

these opportunities were missed. In recent years, Iran, on the contrary, has become engaged in an escalation of its nuclear program. It has almost exceeded the limits under the agreement. By the end of twenty twenty five, these uranium stocks in Iran was forty times above the limits set under the agreement.

be developed. This escalation has led to serious doubts about the nature of the Iranian nuclear program, and the Director General of the ia himself has said that he was not in a position to guarantee the peaceful nature, and a resolution adopted on the twelfth of June by the Board of Governors acknowledged the violation of that agreement by Iran. Over the years, Iran has at the same time pursued its ballistic missile program, which could be used as a

vector for nuclear weapons. Iran has refused any substantial cooper with EU, and it has removed the monitoring equipment that was established and removed their accreditation the accreditation from some of the experts. Because of these obstacles, the agency no longer has continued knowledge of all of the Iranian nuclear programs. Iran has multiplied its disturbing threats to leave the NPT. We would call on Iran to resume full cooperation with the agency and in particular to allow for access as

soon as possible to its nuclear facility. It is essential for the Agency to determine that the uranium stocks have not been moved, and we express our support for the Director General of the IAE and for the teams carrying out their activities with professionalism and impartiality. Access by Iran to nuclear weapons would threaten international and regional peace and security. It endangers the integrity of the non proliferation regime. Namely,

the Iranian issue. Continue used to deserve the concern of the Council on the eighteenth of October, the twenty twenty five Resolution twenty two thirty one will come to an end. We call on Iran to return to dialogue so that we can find a robust, verifiable and lasting diplomatical solution responding to all legitimate concerns of the international community on

the Iranian nuclear program. France, with the EU and the three in close cooperation with the United States, will remain mobilized to that end, and we are determined to conclude an agreement which will take account of the non proliferation regime, regional stability and European security interests. France and its EU partners will remain mobilized under Resolution twenty two to thirty one the snack back provision if such an agreement were

not to be found by the summer. Since two thousand and three, we have sought a diplomatic solution to guarantee in the long term the possibility of.

intentions for ceasefire between Israel and Duran. We believe that this possibility will be a valuable opportunity for reducing tensions and for creating room for dialogue and peace. We hope that this ceasefire will be the first step towards broader negotiations, which will lead to progress and lasting solutions and contribute

to stability for the entire region. Panama takes note of the report introduced by the Facilitator on the implementation of Residution twenty two thirty one, and we are grateful for his efforts in preparing the report. At the same time, we have carefully read the nineteenth Report of the Secretary General and we share his concern at the critical regional situation which currently surrounds the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. We acknowledge the value of multilateral nuclear agreements and see

them as essential pillars for international peace and security. The JCPO way was undoubtedly one of the greatest achievements of multilateralism in the field of non proliferation. To take up this mechanism and to give it yet another chance, is

to reaffirm our commitment to diplomacy. We remained concerned at the fact that the provisions of Resolution twenty two thirty one will expire on the eighteenth of October of twenty twenty five, and despite that deadline, the goals both of the resolution and the plan have not yet been fully met. At the same time, we are concerned that IAEA verification and monitoring related to the JCPOA have been seriously impacted by Iran's non compliance, as reported in the most recent

report of the Director General of the IAEA. In this context, we reiterate that our position, based on the fundamental principles of Panama's foreign policy, is to give priority to strengthening the global non proliferation regime, to ensure respect for that multilateral architecture, and to promote die and diplomacy as a

means for reducing tensions and strategic risks. However, we cannot ignore the most recent events which have merely worsened the already fragile trust and has led to serious concerns about the Iranian nuclear program, as well as the issue of compliance with internationally agreed commitments. The IAEA has warned in its resolutions that attacks on nuclear facilities represent a significant risk because it could lead to the release of radioactive material.

At this critical juncture, we appeal to Iran to allow the monitoring and verification of its facilities by the personnel of the IEA. It is also essential to understand the magnitude and the scale of damage caused by the most recent attacks, with the views expressed by the Director General of the IAEA, Raphael Grosies and Iquot, Establishing the facts on the ground is a prerequisite for any agreement and that can only be achieved through IAEA inspections close quotes.

At the same time, we urge Iran to comply fully with its commitments under the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty as well as the Safeguard's Agreement and the provisions of Residustion twenty two thirty one by this Council, particularly given the possibility that enriched uranium has been moved without DUIAEA supervision. We cannot allow a weakening in the non proliferation architecture.

That architecture has provided greatest guarantees for international stability and security and significantly reduced the risk of new clear weapons

becoming a source of confrontational conflict. In this context, it is urgent for the parties to resume negotiations and to make full use of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action Resolution twenty two thirty one of this Security Council, as well as of bilateral mechanisms established to make progress towards regional and global stability and security.

undermine its integrity. Madn President. While this is fire represent really a positive development, it also serves a reminder of the critical importance of respecting international legal norms, including including those enshrined in the IAEA safeguard system. These safeguards are central to ensuring that nuclear energy is used exclusively for peaceful purposes. In this regard the importance. In this regard, we reiterate the importance of the full and balanced implementation

of the GCPOA by all parties. Should I add, including including its provisions related to the lifting of sanctions, It remains a key component and offers a practical framework for addressing concerns related to Iran's nuclear program through dialogue, transparency and verification. As the Secretary General of the United Nations stated in his report, diplomacy remains the best and only way to address concerns regarding erans nuclear program and regional

security issues. About the regional security issues, may I underscore the urgency of establishing a zone free of nuclear weapons and all other weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East. Such a zone would represent a major stape a major step forward for regional and international peace and security. In this context, we recall Security COUNTSIL Resolution for eight seven, which called on Israel to place its nuclear installation under

IAEA safeguards. More than four decades later, this call remained ignored, ann answered and fulfilled. Madam President, to conclude, the announced cease fire provides a valuable opportunity to reinforce the norms that underpin the global non proliferation regime without selectivity, without double standard. Algeria stands ready to work with all partners to uphold international law and to strengthen the antegrity of the global non proliferation regime, a corner stone of our shared security.

We've listened to the Head of Delegation of the EU, Stavros Lambrinides, Madame President. In the night of June twelfth to thirteenth, member states of the parties to the NPT carried out unprovoked aggression, bringing the world to the brink of nuclear disaster. The Russian Federation strongly condemns the attacks on Iran, including its peaceful nuclear infrastructure, which is subject

to IEA safeguards. The actions of the US and Israel directly violated the UN Charter Security Council resolutions including four eighty seven and twenty two thirty one, which we are discussing today, as well as the Charter of the IAEA and relevant resolutions of the IEA General Conference. They constitute a direct and very dangerous challenge to the authority of the NPT, especially Iran's right guarantee under Article four of the Treaty to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, including

uranium enrichment. And this was a major blow to the non proliferation regime. And all of these actions were carried out by two states, one of which the depository of the NPT, while the other for decades has refused to accede to this crucial element of international security and has refused to subject its nuclear activities to ia safeguards.

to the JCPOA. Their assurances of their commitment to a diplomatic solution to the Iranian nuclear program inspired little confidence before, but currently they are absolutely impossible to take seriously. Judge for yourself that first, these countries deliberately refused to uphold their obligations under the nuclear deal by not providing necessary conditions for ensuring economic benefits from the lifting of European sanctions against Iran, which were in effect till twenty fifteen.

And then they followed in the footsteps of the US, which withdrew from the JCPOA in twenty eighteen and renewed their unilateral sanctions pressure on Tehran, thus precluding any prospect of a full restoration of the jcpoa toward which our Iranian colleagues had repeatedly expressed their openness. At the same time, Berlin, London and Paris attempted to portray Iran's legitimate retaliatory measures, which date themselves Berlin, London and Paris provoked as unleashing

some imaginary Iranian nuclear threat. They repeatedly attempted to undermine the cooperation between Iran and the IA Secretariat, which included efforts to settle unresolved questions, and even in spite of that, Iran remained and remains the most rigorously verified state out of all the members of the IEA, and the General Director General of the IEA's reports clearly indicate the lack

of any proliferation risk. Here I emphasize that the IA's reports in nowhere mentioned the conversion of Iran's nuclear material for military purposes or for any undeclared purposes. So the IEA has observed no signs that Iran is developing a nuclear weapon. Therefore, all of the assertions of our Western colleagues to the contrary are falsehoods calculated for an audience that has not read these reports or that did not understand this issue. The cynicism and hypocrisy of our Western

colleagues reached a peak on June twelfth. On that day, the IEA Board of Governors adopted yet another puffed up resolution on Iran, divorced from reality and inspired by Western countries. Immediately afterward, Israel carried out strikes against Iran's peaceful nuclear sites. A week later, the sovereigntary wave of Iran was attacked by the US, and this demonstrates that what said this one to two punch was agreed upon ahead of time.

The UK and France, which claimed to be champions of diplomacy, rushed to defend the aggression of Jews limb in Washington. As a result, last Sunday we witness another attempt to legitimize the use of force and contravention of the UN Charter and strikes on peaceful nuclear facilities in violation of the IAEA Charter and all norms of nuclear safety and security. And German Chancellor Friedrich Mertz even made so boldness to cynically remark, as he already mentioned, that Israel is doing

the European's dirty work. These are the actual words of a head of government of a state party to the JCPOA. We must not forget that West Jerusalem began its operation two days before a scheduled round of Iran US talks on the nuclear issue mediated by Oman, with the clear intention of sabotaging this process. Against this backdrop, the Western Trio even had the audacity to call not for Israel and the US, but for Tehran, the victim of aggression,

to return to the negotiating table. If our British, French and German colleagues continued to threaten launching this resolution twenty thirty one, that is, mechanism of sanctions by the Security Council on Iran, it like to remind them that there's no political, legal or procedural basis for this. Berlin, London and Paris have chronically violated this resolution and the JCPOA, and therefore did not have the right to engage this mechanism, and the US no longer has any pasis to do

so since it withdrew from the agreement. The Vienna mechanism for dispute the settlement still has not been engaged. The US, the UK, France and Germany do not have the moral right to mention this. It is their actions that truly have betrayed diplomacy and have led to the current situation, Madam President, sexual responsibility in this regard lies with the

IAEA Secretariat. Given the infringement by Israel on the US and the global nuclear proliferation regime which forms the basis for the NPT, Directorate General and his colleagues are obligated to uphold their mandate as well as the solutions of the General Conference four forty four and five point thirty three. The ie leadership must not content itself with evasive language and fragmented information, but rather provide detailed reports on the

attacks against Iranian nuclear facilities under IAEA safeguards. At the same time, it's extremely important to call things by their names and directly indicate who exactly carried out targeted attacks in violation of the charges of the UN and IEA and resolutions of the Security Council and General Conference of

the IEA. Unfortunately, we've already seen that what happens that the Director General of the IEA includes sometimes subjective judgments alongside facts and statistics in his reports, and these are then used by a certain number of countries to justify their unprovoked aggression, Madam President, the Iranian nuclear program can only be resolved through diplomacy, through negotiated solutions which are based on international law and the principle of equal and

indivisible security. The Russian Federation consistently has supported a peaceful solution to the concerns surrounding the Iranian nuclear program, which is acceptible to all parties as well as the interaction community as a whole. Here, the greatest responsibility lays lies on the UN Security Council, which is obligated to take the requisite measures. This is the goal of the draft resolution proposed by Russia together with our Chinese and Pakistani partners.

Today we are proposing to our Council colleagues an updated text that takes into account latest developments and aims to bring about a lasting ceasefire as well as oversight of that ceasfi by the Security count and so through Secretary General reporting. The JCPA Way and Restlution twenty two thirty one, adopted in twenty fifteen, demonstrated that the international community at that time rejected the military approach and clearly chose diplomacy instead.

Today we must make the same choice again without delay.

the mediating efforts by the US and Katar. It is a necessary first step towards sustainable security, which would only be achieved through the plomacy and negotiated deal that would address all proliferation risks and guarantee the security of all countries of the region. Madam President, on today issue of

non proliferation alignment, to highlight the following three points. First and foremost, increase reiterate is a wavering commitment to preserving and strengthening the global nuclear non proliferation regime, the IAAA and NMPT remains indispensable institutional corner stores. We therefore urge all state parties to comply with the full range of

the obligation under the NPT. Secondly, we express serious concerns of the findings of the digit gross's most recent report of May thirty first, as well as the IAAA Border Resolution adopted to June twelfth. According to them, the age's ability to verify Iran supplementation which nuclear related commitments under

the GESPOA has been seriously affected. The cessation of Iran's application of the Additional Protocol, the removal of GESPOA related MONITORI s avail As action equipment, the non compliance which obligation under the Safeguards Agreement, and the access of Fugeal to experience AAA inspectors have collectedly led to a loss of continuity of knowledge, a gap that the AGESY now confirms cannot be restored. Of equal concern is a steady

increase in Iran stockpile of enriched uranium. As of May seventeen, and since late February it runs totally rich uranium stock WILD has been considerably increased en reached up.

ensure that it runs nuclear program remains exclusively peaceful. Its full and effective implementation would provide both transparacy and confidence, not only with regard to verification, but also with a view towards sanctuous relief, economic developments a regional de escalation. It is in this period that we fully support all diplomatic efforts to secure TECHRAND full compliance, which are obligations

under the GSPOA. We welcome last Friday three Iran talks, while we call for the resumption of the US Iran talks. As a country with historical ties and geographical proximity to the region, Greece stands ready to support all constructive efforts aimed at the escalation diplomas in dialog, but a president in closing lip with stress that Iran, as a matter of fact, no other nation must never be allowed to acquire a nuclear weapon. The international community cannot afford a

major nuclear proliferation crisis. With the credibility of the global non proliferation regime at stake, and with military escalation threatening the security stability of the Middle East, the time has come for responsible action. We call on all parts to demonstrate political will, engage meaningfully and in good faith, and reaffirm the commitment to dialogue a diplomas, as the events

of the last state demonstrate. We are glad that even in these very difficult circumstances, the window of diplomacy has remained open and it is now opportunity for addressing through dialogue all concerns about the Iranian nuclear program.

This moment must be seised not only to consolidate gains in regional security, but also to create the necessary space for renewed diplomatic engagement on the nuclear file. It is in the interest of all parties to pursue a negotiated solution, which is the only viable pad to restore the stability

and lasting peace in the region, Madame President. Even before the reason developments, Denmark has continuously expressed our concern about Iran's nuclear trajectory and its activities in Blades and violation of the j cpu A. We have also persistently warned against an Iranian withdrawal from the Non Proliferation Treaty. Our position is clear, Iran must never be allowed to acquire

a nuclear weapon. This follows Iran's obligations under the Non Periferation Treaty and his commitments under the j c PUA. It is therefore deeply alarming that the reason i e A report shows that Iran has failed to declare nuclear material in its mispossession and demonstrate that Iran has impeded and obstructed agency verification activities, as also conveyed by the twenty twenty two thirty one Facilitator letter, We reiterate outgrade concern that the IEA is unable to assure that the

Iranian nuclear program is exclusively peaceful. These concerns are furthered by Iran's production and stockpiling are vast amounts of it riched uranium with no plausible civilian purpose. It still remains unclear whether Iran has ceased its enriching activities. We do not take it lightly and call on Iran to change his course of action and abide by its obligation. This remains true even if recent events have changed the circumstances

surrounding the Iranian nuclear issue. Madame President as Many has highlighted here today this is the last mandated meeting before the expiration of the JCPA, meaning there is no times to spare. Iran must therefore engage seriously in negotiation with the international community, leading to an agreement which addresses all concerns related to its nuclear program. Secure and an agreement under nuclear issue has the potential to faster lasting stability

in the Middle East. All efforts must be deployed to this end. The role of the ieas verification and monitoring of Iran's nuclear program remains imperative. Also in the current situation. Denmark strongly supports the agency's professional and impartial efforts in carrying out its mandate to verify the implementation of Iran's safeguard obligations, especially during these complex circumstances where the safety and security of the inspectors must also be kept in mind,

Madame President. In closing, we continue to call for a diplomatic solution. Only a negotiated solution can bring a lasting settlement to concerns about Iran's nuclear program.

diplomatic solution. We are meeting at a crucial point in the implementation of Resolution twenty two to thirty one and Security Council's consideration of Iran's nuclear issue. Obviously, the developments of the past two weeks have impacted the context of the whole issue and have a bearing on our discussions today. However, what has not changed are the fundamental principles and multilateral spirit behind the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action and the

Resolution twenty two thirty one adopted ten years ago. The JCPOA was a unique instrument manifestation of an approach based on dialogue, diplomacy, and pragmatism. It was the outcome of painstaking and arduous, yet constructive negotiations. It charted a roadmap to comprehensively address the concerns of the parties concerned by

clearly defining their relevant obligations and responsibilities. While proceeding very well, the agreement was regrettably disrupted, leaving many complications in its wake that impacted the full and faithful implementation of the JCPUA by various parties. Notwithstanding those challenges, the most widely held view was that dialogue, diplomacy and constructive engagement was the only viable way forward.

have witnessed should never have happened. Even now, it is our firm belief that these actions should not be allowed to further complicate the peaceful resolution of longstanding issues, as well as the full and effective implementation of Resolution twenty two thirty one. We reaffirm our support for the resolution of the Iranian nuclear issue through peaceful means diplomatic engagement

and sustained dialogue. Pakistan advocates the preservation and renewal of the JCPOA or its substitution by an equally sound agreement that is acceptable to all sides before it expires in October this year. The IAEA is the institution responsible for verifying compliance with respective nuclear safeguards obligations of member states. It is mandated to do so in an objective, impartial and credible manner purely on technical grounds. The IAA must

be enabled to fulfill this statutory function. We believe that verification activities by the IAEA should continue unimped it The IAEA must continue its work in an impartial and apolitical manner to provide objective reporting and credible information regarding the issues under its purview. Madern President, with regards to recent developments in the region, I would like to emphasize the

following point points. First, condemnation of violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of member states and the threat or useer force to settle disputes. Second, clear rejection of attacks on IAEA safeguarded nuclear facilities which violate Security Council and

IAA resolutions. As well as international humanitarian law. Third, we request the Secretary General to report on the implications of these developments on the implementation of Resolution twenty two thirty one, particularly those arising from military strikes against nuclear facilities, and we also request the Director General IAEA to share his

assessment from legal, technical, safety, security and safeguards points of view. Fourth, we urge sustained secession of hostilities and a permanencya squire to allow resumption of dialogue and verification activities by the IAEA. Fifth, there is an urgent need to renew diplomatic engagement to seriously and faithfully address the outstanding issues in a cooperative manner as for the rights, obligations and responsibilities of the

parties concerned. When President, we welcome the announcement of the ceasefire and standing between Iran and Israel, and we expect this to be fully respected. To recommend all those who played a pivotal role in facilitating this development and hope this positive step will contribute to lasting peace and stability in the region. This is a vital step that must

now be followed up by constructive and comprehensive engagement. Parks then firmly believes that all disputes must be resolved in accordance with the principles of the UN Charter and international law, respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity. We call on all parties to fulfill their respective obligations and responsibilities and avoid any further escalation. Most importantly, the trust and confidence in the diplomatic engagement that was damaged by the unprovoked aggression

must be meticulously restored. The Council should allow sufficient time to continuing efforts between the IAEA and Iran, as well as other parties, to resolve outstanding issues. Recent developments have yet again manifested the grave dangers that present themselves when there are violations of the UN Charter and international law. The cost of seeking to resolve issues through military means

is more than evident. The region and indeed the whole world, cannot be held hostage to such adventure, which is dangerous precedents and spiraling escalations. Diplomatic engagement and the resumption of dialogue are the best means to resolve all outstanding issues. Diplomacy has delivered previously, and with the necessary political will,

it can certainly deliver again. Lastly, allow me to inform the Council that, following up on the draft resolution circulated by China, Pakistan and Russia on Sunday, we have updated and revised the text to reflect the latest developments, including

the ceasefire, and have circulated it to Council members. Securing the ceasefire was one of the primary objectives of the draft resolution, in addition to calling for a negotiated settlement of the Iranian nuclear issue and promoting respect for international

law under all circumstances. Engage constructively with fellow members on the text of this draft resolution with a view to arriving at a consensus outcome signifying the Council support for sustained ceasefire and sustain dialogue and diplomatic engagement for a lasting solution.

to diplomacy. We, along with our partners, are clear that only diplomacy can achieve a durable solution to the Uranian nuclear threat. We urge Iran to take this opportunity to engage in negotiations now. It is critical that Iran does not miss this window for diplomacy. President. As we know, Iran's nuclear program has been far beyond any credible civilian justification, including an enriched uranium stockpile forty times the limit set by the JCPOA. It is urgent that the AIAEA have

full access, especially on Iran's enriched uranium stockpile. We have been clear that Iran cannot develop or acquire a nuclear weapon. The UK, alongside our E three partners, stands ready to support efforts towards a negotiated solution. We will use all diplomatic leavers at our disposal to support a negotiated outcome

and ensure Iran does not develop a nuclear weapon. President Finally, we commend the IAEA and the Director General for their vital work, including under the mandate of UN Security Council Resolution twenty two thirty one. They have displayed displayed professionalism and impartiality, and they have our full support. We urge Iran to cooperate with the IAEA in the interests of

both safety and diplomacy. Colleagues, we urge all parties to urgently pursue a deal that establishes international confidence long term that Iran's nuclear program is exclusively peaceful. The cease fire is the first step towards that.

law and the Iran to sovereignty. What's more, striking, Iranian nuclear facilities that are placed under the IAEA safeguards, says a bad president, which threatens the international non proliferation regime, which China once again unequivocally condemns. The aforementioned acts have also undermined polematic efforts to resolve the Uranian nuclei issue and created a high degree of uncertainty to the implementation of Secret Council Resolution twenty two thirty one. China is

briefly concerned and deeply worried about this president. China has noted that some members of this Council have done nothing but accused Iran of violating its non proliferation obligations in an attempt to justify the military actions of Israel and the United States. Here, China wishes to remind these countries of the following basic facts. It is none other than the United States that started the Iranian nuclear crisis. The

United States Union laterally withdrew from the J'SOA in twenty eighteen. Thereafter, it reinstated under escalated unilactal sanctions against Iran and adopted measures of maximum pressure pressure which prevented Iran from enjoying the economic dividends conferred by the agreement and forced the

country to reduce fulfilling its obligations under the agreement. It is again the United States, throwing to the wind its own credibility, launched the military strikes against the Iranian nuclear facilities, undermining the negotiation process initiate initiated by itself, leading the Uranian nuclear issue to yet another impasse and resulting in an abrupt escalation of the regional situation. Iran's sincerity in

resolving the nuclear crisis should be valued. Up till today, Iran continues to fulfill its nuclear non proliferation obligations and implement the Comprehensive Safeguard's Agreement. Iran has repeatedly stated that it does not seek to develop a nuclear weapons. It conducted several rounds of a professional and pragmatic neotiations with the United States in a constructed manner and never abandoned

its diplomatic efforts. However, some countries, citing the report of the Director General of IAEA in a one sided manner and ignoring the positive aspects of the Iran's cooperation with the agency, pushed for the adoption of a resolution by the IAEA Board of Governors without adequate consultations, thus jeopardizing the atmosphere of dialogue while intensifying tension under confrontation. We call on these countries to reflect long and hard on

the adverse consequences of their irresponsible move. President China is of the view that we have yet to exhaust all diplomatic means to resolve the Uberinian nuclear issue, and there is still hope for a peaceful solution. It is necessary for all parties to draw lessons from this restart the dialogue on equal footing under promote the return of the Ubinian nuclei issue to the track of a political settlement. I wish to stress three points. First, the priority is

to stop the fighting. Facts have shown that force is not an option for resolving international disputes, and there's no way that it can resolve the Iranian nuclear issue. Now, China has taken note of the current developments on the ground and looks forward to the realization of a genuine ceasefire that can effectively hold. The parties concerned should take practical measures to prevent the situation from escalating again. Meanwhile, the international community must make efforts to cool down the

situation under promote the dialogue and negotiation. Second, we must recognize that a political solution is the only way forward. The core aim and objectives set out in the JCPOA and the Resolution twenty TI two thirty one remain valid. In the next step of the political settlement of this issue, we must adhere to the general direction of a political and diplomatic solution and oppose the use of force and illegal sanctions. In order to balance the objectives of nuclear

non proliferation and peaceful uses of the nuclear energy. Iran must continue to abide by its commitment not to develop nuclear weapons, and parties should fully respect Iran's right to peaceful uses of the nuclear energy As a state party to the MPT Treaty. All parties should insist on addressing the legitimate concerns through dialogue and consultation on an equal footing. Third to start a dialogue and negotiation is the fundamental

way forward. China supports all efforts to relaunch the Uranian nuclear negotiations and believes that this is also the position of the vast majority of Council members. The Security Council should play a constructive role in assisting parties in building trust, breaching differences, and creating conditions conducive to the resumption of negotiations.

Rather of the countries should abandon the practice of threatening to activate snapback and mechanism at every turn, as this will only aggravate tensions and confrontations and even further jeopardized diplomatic efforts. A proper solution of the Uranian nuclear issue has a director bearing on the authority and the effectiveness effectiveness of the international non proliferation regime, and it's crucial

to peace and stability in the Middle East. At present, the situation in the region is at a critical and crucial juncture. Chane Account calls on all parties to act with a higher sense of urgency and responsibility to de escalate the situation as soon as possible and resume negociations

at the earliest possible date. As a permanent member of the Security Council and a party to the JCPOA, China will continue to maintain an objective and impartial position, strengthen communication and coordination with all parties to build a synergy and uphold fairness and the justice with a view to playing a constructive role in restoring peace in the Middle East and promoting a political solution to the Urinian nuclear issue.

the announced ceasefire between Israel and Iran. We reiterate our call for dialogue a return to the negotiating table as the only way forward for a diplomatic solution, one that promotes regional and international peace and security. Guyana also urges all parties to exercise maximum restraint and to unequivocally commit

to safeguarding all nuclear installations in accordance with their international obligations. Colleagues, we stand at a critical juncture, with Resolution twenty two thirty one being mayor months away from expiation and a joint Comprehensive Plan of Action still to achieve its core mandate. Guyana recalls that the jcpoa endorsed by Resolution twenty two thirty one, was meant to ensure that Iran's nuclear program

will be of an exclusively peaceful nature. Guyana also recalls that Resolution twenty two thirty one encourage Member States to cooperate with Iran in the framework of the JCPOA, including through IAEA involved. It also encourages cooperation in the field of peaceful uses of nuclear energy an engagement in mutually determined civil nuclear cooperation projects in accordance with Annexed three

of the JCPOA. We acknowledge the nineteenth report of the Secretary General on the implementation of Security Council Resolution twenty two thirty one. We concur with his assessment that a diplomatic solution that ensures the exclusively peaceful nature of the Iranian nuclear program and promotes economic and trade cooperation between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the international community is

the only viable pathway to peace and prosperity. We took notes of last month's IAEA report on Iran's implementation of its commitment under the JCPOA, submitted in accordance with paragraph four of Resolution twenty two thirty one. Notwithstanding the current circumstances. In fact, because of it, we encourage continued cooperation between the AAA and Iran, including in addressing outstanding safeguards issue and in assessing the safety and security risks of the

nuclear facilities. We also support the vital efforts of the Secretary General and the Joint Commission's Procurement Channel in facilitating implementation of Resolution twenty two thirty one and the Plan. Colleagues, Guyana recalls that agreement on the JCPOA was reached through intensive multilateral negotiations. We must continue to work towards the full implementation of the Plan. Guyana believes that this is vital to ensuring regional and international peace and security and

for building confidence and trust among the parties. We therefore urge all participants to return to the Plan and to engage in dialog and diplomacy as a matter of urgency. Mutually assured destruction can never be a good policy. We urge stronger commitment toward the Non Proliferation Treaty and encourage states that have not yet done so to accede to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. We undiscord the need for decisive action by the international community in

advancing the abolition of nuclear weapons. In conclusion, I reiterate Guyana's commitment to a world free of nuclear warp weapons and one where there is greater investment in peace. I thank you. I resume my function as President of the Council. The Representative of the United States has asked for the floor to make for the statement.

I wish to sincell the tank our blood eily and friendly nation, the State of Gatar, for its sincere and diplomatic affairs to help and Israeli aggraation establish a ceasefire and prevent a further escalation of regional tensions that tiltan peace and stability in the region. With thanks and the Sexitriginal Mysticollo for her briefing, we take note

of the sex Digeneral report. We echo ourselves with the sex Digeneral's call for a diplomatic solution in his report, as well as with the USC in her.

Israel religion in this meeting. Legally and presidially, Israel has no standing to take part in this meeting. This regime has no connection to the agenda of the meeting, no Resolution twenty two thirty one or the GCPOA. The participants to the GCPOA as mentioned in Resolution twenty two thirty one, are clearly defined, and the Counsul's practice in convening meeting under this agenda item has always been limited to the

GCPOA participants. Madame President, This meeting is the final Security Council briefing on Resolution twenty two thirty one before its expiation in October twenty twenty five.

causes of the current situation are simple and clear. Therefore, they are not in a position to accuse Iran of non compliance. Second to day's meeting take place as my country face an unprovoked military aggredation that blatantly violates international law. The UN chartered the Statute of the IEA, the General Conference Resolution and Dissolution twenty two thirty one.

It is profoundly troubling that, even after a decade of Resolution twenty two thirty one, Iran's fully monitored, peaceful nuclear program has been repeatedly targeted by Israel.

It is disappointing that the Council failed to condemn these illegal attacks despite a strongly quest by Dissolution for Age seven, which prohibits such illegal acts. We call on the Council to, at the very least explicity, condemn these aggress and ensure they don't happen again. Fourth, the double standards are blatant. While the US the UK of France maintain massive nuclear arsenals and overlook israel undeclared stock piles, they baselessly claim

Iran's peaceful program threaten international peace and security. These political accusations have been refuted for years by Iran's transparency and by its full cooperation with IEA. If they truly care about the non proliferation regime, they must condemn israel violation of international law Resolution four eighty seven. Fifth, claims that Iran has violated Resolution twenty two thirty one are glandless. For past decades, Iran has upheld Resolution twenty two thirty

one and the GSPUA. Our remedial measure have been fully consistent with these two instruments, meant only to restore balance and encourage all parties to detern.

failed to meet their obligation. Even worse, they falsely assert that Iran is closed to acquiring nuclear weapons, a falsehood unsupported by credible evidence. Our peaceful program under strict IA verification cannot be denied. Despite this aggress and the unconstructive behavior of the European parties, ern remain committed to diplomacy and peaceful dispute. Resolution Resolution twenty two thirty one proved

that diplomacy can and must resolve differences. Seventh, Iran continue to believe a diplomatic resolution to nuclear and sanctioned issue is possible. Our commitment is evident through over full implementation of gcpa A Resolution twenty to thirty one. But if the other parties truly want a resolution, they must respect Iran's right and stop undermining diplomacy. Eight Iran never initiated this war. Once the aggressors stopped, they attacks Iran stopped

its lawful military response as well. Nevertheless, Iran will not overlook the deceit and double standards over brave our forces remain fully prepared to respond to any further trests or violation. Finally, to conclude, Madame President, we are now closer to diplomacy

than ever before. The long, large scale war they thought could force Iran into so called unconditional surrender and make it abandoned its pouseful nuclear program through intermediation, threats and the use of force has failed more clearly than ever. They unleashed their full military might, supporting and providing Israel with advanced fighter jets, sophisticated weaponry, and the most powerful bombs, even bunker posts, to attack iron peaceful nuclear facilities and covertly,

deliberately and indiscriminately targeted civilians and critical infrastructures. These attacks led to the martyrdom of hundreds of innocent people, including women, children, nuclear scientists, academic athletes, students, aid workers, and senior military officials,

and left thousands more injured. We honor martyrs for the sacrifice, says, as well as our brave patritude people in defense of our homeland eren emerged pro an esteadfast in the phase of this criminal aggreation disproves one simple truth more clearly than ever. Diplomacy and dialogue are the only path to dissolving the unnecessary crisis over Iran's peaceful program.

ourselves at a particularly difficult juncture today. France, Germany and the United Kingdom have consistently made every effort to find a diplomatic solution with Iran and will continue to do so, but the Iranian nuclear programs a threat to international peace and security. Last Friday, the E three Foreign Ministers and the EU High Representative met with their Iranian counterpart in

Geneva to call upon Iran to engage in negotiations. We will continue our joint diplomatic effort to address all concerns associated with Iran's nuclear program. We have always been clear Iran must not have a nuclear weapon. It can only be a non nuclear weapon state under the NPTE and must respect its nuclear safeguard's obligations. Our efforts, conducted jointly with many partners around the globe, have aimed at preventing

Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. We successfully concluded the JCPOA, which put robust and verifiable restrictions on Iran's nuclear program and would have provided the entire international community with confidence that Iran's nuclear activities remain exclusively peaceful. Throughout the last years, we witnessed an expansion of Iran's nuclear program far beyond Iran's commitments under the jcp. As of last months, Irans in which the uranium stockpile were forty times higher than

allowed under the JSPOA limits. Iran continued to enrich uranium to up to sixty percent, which lacks any plausible civilian purpose in an underground facility. It stopped implementing almost all of its key and transparency commitments. It subscribed to under the JCPOA as well. The E three have always pursued diplomacy to find a solution to the Iranian nuclear proliferation crisis.

In twenty one and twenty two, we negotiated in good faith to bring the US back into the JSPUA and Iran to full compliance with its commitments to no avail. Iran twice refused a fair proposal put on the table by the Coordinator and decided to further escalate its nuclear program to the level we all know in conjecture within Iran's failure to comply with its legally binding safeguard its obligations, an assessment that was affirmed by the Board of Governor's

resolution last months. Iran's nuclear activities have remained a threat to regional and global security. Iran's nuclear program continues to pose serious proliferation concerns. We are particularly concerned by any possible relocation of nuclear materials since the recent military strikes. We reiterate that as a member of the EMPTY and its Nuclear Safeguards regime, Iran is obliged to declare and put all nuclear material located in Iran under IAEA safeguards.

Iran must fully cooperate with the agency and refrain from threats against its personnel and d G Gross himself, whose professional work we commend. In this regard, we are alerted by the initiative in the Iranian Parliament to suspend cooperation with the agency, as well as by Iran's deliberations to withdraw from the NPT. In closing, let me welcome the cease fire between Israel and Iran announced yesterday and all on like others, Germany Joints calls on all sides to

respect it and to re engage in diplomacy. Thank you.

for their remarks. To my colleague, the Ambassador of Iran, I advise you, instead of giving advice to the Council how to conduct its affairs, to comply with the resolution of the Security Council, so we don't have to come back here almost every day and discuss the violations of Iran, Madam President, since launching Operation Writhing lyon Israel has walked to remove a double distential threat from both the nuclear

threat and ballistic missiles. The IDEF achieved complete air superiority over Tehran, struck a severe blow to the military leadership, and destroyed dozens of key targets.

prize for deception. The Ibeian regime would win it. Every single year. It has broken every commitment it has ever made. There is no reason to believe this deception will not continue. Let's walk through the facts. In July twenty fifteen, this Council endorsed JCPOA. Iran supposedly agreed to many conditions, restricting its enrichment, reducing its stockpile, and opening.

with no civilian application. In June twenty twenty two, Iran removed the IAEA's survelliance cameras and monitoring equipment, attempting to eliminate all other side. Today, the IAA is completely blind. Out of May twenty twenty five, Iran's in which uranium stockpile stands at over nine thousand kilograms.

opportunity you gave it. Iran did not abandon its commitments last week or last months. It walked away from its obligations years ago, if it ever kept to them at all. It has been violating this resolution with impunity for as long as it existed. This Council just refused to see it. We all know that Evan's left level of enrichment as no civilian usage.

The same Iran that refused IA inspections, the seme Iran that in which Uvenium two weapons grade levels, the sem Iran that used its seat at the table to delay, deceive, and arm itself. Madam President, there is still time to take meaningful and decisive action to ensure that the threat of a nuclear Iran does not return stronger than before. The International community must be assert its authority. It must remain vigilant. It must reimpose the measures necessarily to deny

Iran the tools of destruction. Must do so before the clock runs out. We are often told that diplomacy must be given a chance. It was given every chance, every round, every channel, every deadline, but so far it has failed. The regime in Tehavan never had any intention of complying. Colleagues, you know who you are dealing with. You are not engaging with a regime that negotiates in good faith. You are dealing with the masters of lies, deceit, and delay.

You have seen how they respond to your usual approach, so I urge you take a different approach. Israel has done its pout, The United States has done its pout. Now the world must do its spout. Thank you, Madam President.
