Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations said the United States must be held accountable for the consequences of its reckless and wrongful act of withdrawing from the nuclear deal.

“The unilateral and unlawful US act of unwarranted withdrawal from the JCPOA renders it responsible for the most blatant material breach of its obligations under the agreement and brazen non-compliance with the Security Council resolution 2231 (2015),” the mission said in a statement on Wednesday, referring to the official name of the deal Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

“The United States must, therefore, be held accountable for the consequences of its reckless and wrongful act, which flies in the face of the United Nations Charter and the principles of international law,” the mission said.

“All member states, international organizations and especially other JCPOA participants must remain cognizant of their shared responsibility to safeguard the agreement,” the statement added.
