UNITED NATIONS - Iran’s United Nations ambassador accused the United States on Monday of showing no respect for international law by imposing new sanctions on Iran, describing tensions between the pair as “really dangerous” and not the right atmosphere for talks.
He spoke as the U.N. Security Council met behind closed doors at the request of the United States to discuss Iran. “The situation is really dangerous and all we should do is try to de-escalate,” said Ravanchi, calling on the United States to withdraw its naval ships from the Gulf region and “move away from economic warfare against the Iranian people.”
“We have been discussing how to move forward with our European colleagues,” Ravanchi said. “It is incumbent on them to compensate what we have lost as a result of the U.S. withdrawal from the nuclear deal.”Most U.N. sanctions imposed on Iran were lifted in January 2016 when the U.N. nuclear watchdog confirmed that Tehran fulfilled commitments under a 2015 nuclear deal with Britain, France, Germany, China, Russia and the United States.
