Almost all the UN member countries condemned the violence and invited Tehran to restraint, however during the meeting a chorus rose in defense of the 2015 international agreement on Iranian nuclear power, repeatedly in the crosshairs of the Donald Trump administration. After criticizing the development of ballistic missiles and the role of Iran in supporting the Yemeni rebels, the British ambassador to the UN, Matthew Rycroft, stressed that “the United Kingdom remains fully committed to the JCPOa (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) ”, or the Iranian nuclear deal. “We encourage all member states - he added - to respect their commitments. A prosperous and stable Iran is for the benefit of all ”.
Ending the nuclear agreement "would represent a huge step backwards for the international community", warned the French representative to the UN, Francois Delattre. 
“The agreement - said Delattre - represents one of the milestones for peace in the Middle East”. The appeals in defense of the agreement come on the eve of important decisions that Trump will have to take on Iran, starting as early as next week. The president will have to decide whether to honor that part of the agreement which led to the elimination of sanctions on the banking system, on oil and on the shipping industry. If it opted for the reintroduction of the sanctions at the risk of collapsing the agreement, the US would find itself completely isolated as emerged during the CDS meeting. The American representative at the UN, Nikki Haley, never mentioned the Iranian nuclear deal, focusing her speech on protests during which at least 20 people lost their lives and a thousand were arrested. The demonstrations were "a spontaneous expression of fundamental human rights" against an "oppressive government," attacked Haley. "The Iranian people shouted, think of us", remarked the US representative citing some slogans during the protests in Iran. Russia and China have asked to let Tehran resolve their internal affairs, otherwise, according to US logic, the Security Council should also have intervened during the anti-racism protests in Feguson, Missouri in 2014. and during the Wall Street occupation in 2011.
