Sweden says UN’s Mideast session should focus on peace process, not Iran
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSweden’s ambassador to the UN Olof Skoog says today’s Security Council session on the Middle East should focus on the peace process and not the Iran nuclear deal.
“The nuclear agreement is underpinned by UN Security Council resolutions. It’s clear where we stand,” Skoog says according to reports. “The EU is determined to preserve the JCPOA as a key pillar of the international nonproliferation architecture.”
“Settlements dangerously threaten the viability of the two-state solution and destroy hopes for peace,” he adds.
Skoog’s remarks come after Israel and the US strongly condemned Tehran over what they said was its support for terrorism and flagrant human rights violations.
