Tehran: Administration spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani announced that UN Security Council Resolution 2231, which endorsed the Iran nuclear agreement of 2015, has officially expired, and Iran has informed the Security Council of this development.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Mohajerani, in her weekly press briefing, conveyed that Iran, along with Russia and China, has jointly sent a letter to the Security Council declaring the resolution’s termination. She emphasized that discussions on the matter are no longer necessary from the perspectives of these countries, and noted that the Security Council has taken no steps to revive resolutions that have already concluded.

Mohajerani highlighted that the majority of the international community is against unilateralism in global affairs. She stressed that the world community should prevent a small group of countries, some lacking necessary legitimacy, from intervening in issues that could threaten global peace or undermine the credibility of international organizations.

Resolution 2231 expired on October 18, marking ten years since its adoption. In late August, the E3 countries-Britain, Germany, and France-invoked the snapback mechanism in an attempt to reimpose UN sanctions that had been lifted under the 2015 accord. Despite this, Iran, Russia, and China argue that the expiration of Resolution 2231 renders any efforts to restore sanctions legally invalid, asserting that Iran should no longer be subject to such measures.
