FM Spox: Iran’s missile defense legitimate not against UNSC Resolution 2231

Ratification of the new law imposing sanctions on Iran’s non-nuclear activities at the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee indicates their enmity which was not unlikely and proves continuation of their inborn hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran, Qasemi said.

He made the remarks while commenting on the latest anti-Iran move of the US Senate.

On June 15, the Senate voted for a legislation to impose non-nuclear sanctions on Iran for its defense missile programs.

“Based on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) which is an international document, the US government has some commitments that should fulfill them completely and with good will,” Qasemi said adding that domestic rules and regulations of each country are not the basis for their acts towards the JCPOA therefore, he stressed, “governments cannot shirk their legal obligations resorting to their own regulations.”
