New proposal to avoid UN sanctions restoration: Iran offers

United Nations—Iran—(Special Correspondent/Web Desk)—Iran’s top diplomat shared a new idea on Friday. He hopes it will stop the United Nations from bringing back strict economic penalties. The Foreign Minister called the plan “fair and balanced” for all sides involved.

He explained that the proposal was shared with three European nations and the European Union. The goal is to find a solution that benefits everyone and prevents a bigger problem. The minister stressed that Iran should not be the only country responsible for making things work.

This news comes as the UN was getting ready to vote on restoring these major sanctions. It seems likely that the vote will not go in Iran’s favor, meaning the penalties could return soon.

The European countries involved were part of a major 2015 deal with Iran. That agreement lifted sanctions in exchange for limits on Iran’s nuclear work. These countries now believe Iran has not kept its promises from that original deal.

The main purpose of the 2015 deal was to prevent Iran from building a nuclear bomb. Iran has always said its nuclear program is only for peaceful purposes, like creating energy.

The original deal has been in trouble since the United States left it in 2018 and put its own sanctions back on Iran. In response, Iran began breaking the rules of the deal itself over a year later. This included reducing how much access United Nations nuclear inspectors had to its facilities.

Tensions grew very high in June. Israel attacked sites in Iran connected to its nuclear and military programs. Iran fought back with its own attacks. For a short time, the U.S. joined Israel in striking Iranian nuclear locations before both sides agreed to stop.

Just last week, Iran agreed to start working again with the UN’s nuclear watchdog agency. This happened after cooperation had been paused. The agency has warned that Iran is now creating uranium at a very high purity level, which is much higher than the original deal allowed.
