The UN Secretary-General also said in his report that Iran is sticking to the nuclear deal despite massive challenges from the United States. He also commented that the matter is satisfactory.
Iran signed a nuclear deal in 2015 with six world powers, the United States, France, Germany, Britain, Russia and China. Immediately after the signing of the agreement, the UN Security Council unanimously approved Resolution 2231. The resolution made the Iran nuclear deal an international law.
However, the United States has violated international law by withdrawing from the nuclear agreement it signed in 2018. In his Wednesday report, the UN Secretary-General acknowledged violations of international law by the United States.
