Iran says UN approval of Iran nuclear deal makes Israel even isolated

Xinhua, July 21, 2015 Adjust font size:

The unanimous adoption of a resolution by the UN Security Council (UNSC) to endorse the recent Iran nuclear deal represents Israel's isolation in the world, Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad-Javad Zarif said on Tuesday.

"The anger of the enemies of the Islamic republic, with the Zionist regime at the top, is a clear sign of Iran's regional and international strength," Zarif said as he submitted the text of the nuclear agreement, or the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), to Iran's parliament for review.

The unanimous endorsement of the deal by the UNSC, and Israel's plea to the U.S. congress to oppose the agreement shows that Israel is isolated even by its own allies, Zarif said.

All Iran's objectives in its nuclear talks with the powers were met by the recent agreement despite Iarael's propaganda, he added.

On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lashed out at Iran's nuclear agreement, saying that the Islamic republic deserves no concessions until it changes its foreign policy toward Israel and the United States.

The UNSC on Monday unanimously adopted the resolution as the first important step toward implementing the historic agreement reached in Vienna, Austria, last week between Iran and the P5+1 group, Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States plus Germany.

In the resolution, the 15-member body called for its full implementation on the timetable established in the agreement.

The agreement is expected to put Iran on the path of sanctions relief, with more strict limits on its nuclear program. Endit
