Saudi Arabia: Tehran does not respect the agreement on the nuclear program

According to the Nova agency, Saudi Arabia believes that Iran is not respecting the terms of the international agreement on its nuclear program concluded in 2015 in Vienna. Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al Jubeir spoke to the media on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly underway in New York. "We are counting on the international community to do what is necessary to ensure that Iran complies with the terms of the agreement," the minister said. According to Al Jubeir, Iran promotes "instability, death and destruction in the region". “We have repeatedly said that we expect the agreement to ensure that Iran will never be able to acquire nuclear capability and stressing the need for compliance with the agreements. However, we are convinced that Tehran is not fulfilling the agreement and we expect the international community to do whatever it takes to force Iran to comply with the terms of the agreement, ”said the Saudi Foreign Minister. The position of Riyadh, which has always been against the Iranian nuclear agreement signed in July 2015 in Vienna by Tehran and the countries of the 5 + 1 group (China, France, United Kingdom, Russia, United States plus Germany), is strengthened from the change of direction of the United States under the new administration of Donald Trump. The US president, as pointed out in his speech to the United Nations General Assembly, considers the agreement one of the worst ever signed by Washington and has placed Iran once again among the "rogue states". According to reports from the US newspaper "The New York Time", Trump intends to revisit the international agreement on Iranian nuclear power to tighten its provisions, rather than abandon it entirely as threatened in recent months. The White House is exerting pressure on the allies to persuade Tehran to return to the negotiating table. On September 19, during his first speech to the United Nations General Assembly, Trump called the agreement "a disgrace to the United States". The president is determined to expand the time constraints under the Islamic Republic's nuclear program and to impose limits on the country's ballistic program. Although most European capitals have expressed their conviction in favor of the current agreement, some have indicated that they are ready to discuss a renegotiation. Obtaining the consent of the European allies, however, appears to be a difficult challenge, and this without counting Russia and China. In his speech to the United Nations General Assembly, the Iranian president, Hassan Rohani, categorically ruled out that Tehran could lend itself to re-discuss the agreement: "Iran - Rohani warned - will not be the first country to violate the agreement, but will respond in a decisive and resolute manner to its violation by any counterpart ".

There is no need to renegotiate the Iran nuclear deal. The head of European diplomacy, Federica Mogherini, said this on the sidelines of the UN general assembly, while American President Donald Trump was unleashed against Tehran according to which the agreement negotiated by Obama must be destroyed. This is not the opinion of Europe, but Mogherini reported that it is not the opinion of US diplomacy either, after having consulted the foreign ministers of the signatory countries of the agreement, namely Iran, the USA, China, Russia, France, the United Kingdom and Germany. “There is no need to renegotiate the agreement, because the agreement on the nuclear program is working. We all agree that there are no violations and that all points of the understanding are respected. We already have a potential nuclear crisis and we certainly don't need another one, ”added Mogherini, referring to North Korea. The international community cannot afford to dismantle an agreement that works.
