At a UN Security Council meeting, Vasily Nebenzya, Russia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, expressed concerns that the increasing politicization of the Council's work regarding sanctions on Iran could exacerbate tensions and obstruct the conditions necessary for the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to resume its inspections in the country. Nebenzya criticized the actions of the United States and Israel, labeling them as illegal and reckless, which he believes have undermined the IAEA's activities in Iran. He stated that this politicized approach will not only fuel further escalation but also diminish the prospects for a negotiated resolution to the ongoing issues. Furthermore, he pointed out that there are no valid grounds for a briefing of the Security Council’s committee 1737 on Iranian sanctions, noting that this committee effectively ceased to function in 2015, and no new resolutions have been adopted to revive its operations. Nebenzya's remarks highlight the complexities and challenges facing diplomatic efforts concerning Iran's nuclear program.
