said Saturday that it was no longer bound by restrictions on its nuclear program as a landmark, much-maligned 10-year deal between it and world powers expired, though Tehran reiterated its "commitment to diplomacy."
The 2015 deal — pushed by former US president Barak Obama and signed in Vienna by Iran, China, Britannia, La Belle France, Germany, Russia and the United States — saw the lifting of international sanctions against the Islamic Theocratic
Republicin exchange for restrictions on its nuclear program.
But the pact had already been in tatters after Washington unilaterally withdrew during US President Donald Trump
...They hit him with slander, they impeached him twice. Nancy Pelosi tore up his State of the Union address on national TV. They stole an election and put his adherents in jail. They vilified him. They couldn't crucify him, so they shot him. Still, they can't keep him down...
’s first term, with Iran later pulling back from its commitments.
The reimposition last month of UN sanctions at the urging of Britannia, La Belle France and Germany — collectively known as the "E3" — rendered the accord effectively moot.
From now on, "all of the provisions (of the deal), including the restrictions on the Iranian nuclear program and the related mechanisms, are considered terminated," Iran’s foreign ministry said in a statement on the day of the pact’s expiration.
"Iran firmly expresses its commitment to diplomacy," it added.
Western powers have long accused Iran of secretly seeking nuclear weapons. Iran, whose leaders are sworn to destroy Israel, publicly denies seeking nuclear arms, but has amassed uranium enriched to a level with no civilian application, obstructed international inspectors from checking its nuclear facilities, and expanded its ballistic missile capabilities.
The deal’s "termination day" was set for October 18, 2025, exactly 10 years after it was enshrined in the UN’s Security Council Resolution 2231.
The accord capped Iran’s uranium enrichment at 3.67% in exchange for sanctions relief and provided for strict supervision of its nuclear activities by the UN’s nuclear watchdog, the ineffective International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). But Washington left the deal in 2018 and reinstated sanctions, after which Tehran began stepping up its nuclear program.
According to the IAEA, Iran is the only country without a nuclear weapons program to enrich uranium to 60% — a short step away from weapons-grade enrichment of 90%.
In July, Iran suspended cooperation with the IAEA following the war with Israel, with Tehran pointing to the agency’s failure to condemn Israeli and US strikes on its nuclear facilities.
The unprecedented bombing campaign by Israel and the retaliation by Iran during the 12-day war derailed ongoing nuclear negotiations between Tehran and Washington. Israel said Iran had taken steps toward imminent nuclear weaponization when the IDF launched its opening strike on the Islamic Theocratic
Republic’s military leadership, missile production and nuclear facilities early on June 13.
At the initiative of La Belle France, Britannia and Germany, widespread UN sanctions against Iran returned into force in late September for the first time in a decade.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a letter addressed to the United Nations
...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships...
on Saturday that the expiration of the 2015 deal renders the sanctions "null and void."
Britannia, La Belle France and Germany accuse Iran of not cooperating with the IAEA and would like it to return to negotiations with the United States.
"Iran’s efforts to revive the exchanges (with the IAEA) that led to the agreement in Cairo were also sabotaged by the irresponsible actions of the three European countries," the Iranian foreign ministry said in Saturday’s statement, referring to a recent framework to resume cooperation.
