3. SOUNDBITE (English) Rosemary DiCarlo, Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, United Nations:
“The military escalation between Israel and Iran since 13 June and United States air strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities on 21 June complicated prospects for achieving full implementation of Resolution 2231 (2015). Iran’s strikes yesterday on a base in Qatar, an action which the Secretary-General condemned, further exacerbated insecurity in an already tense region.”

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Rosemary DiCarlo, Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, United Nations:
“At the heart of this conflict is the nature of Iran’s nuclear programme. Following the deadly clashes of the past 12 days, the ceasefire agreement is an opportunity to avoid a catastrophic escalation and achieve a peaceful resolution of the Iran nuclear issue.”
6. Wide shot, Security Council
7. SOUNDBITE (English) Stavros Lambrinidis, head, delegation to the United Nations, European Union:
“A lasting solution to the Iranian nuclear issue can only be through a negotiated deal, not military action. A fully functioning nuclear deal will be conducive to the stabilization of the whole region.”

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Stavros Lambrinidis, head, delegation to the United Nations, European Union:
“Moreover, the IAEA is and should remain the sole impartial and independent international organization to monitor and verify the implementation of Iran’s nuclear non-proliferation commitments. Diplomacy must prevail.”
10. Wide shot, Security Council
11. SOUNDBITE (English) Dorothy Shea, Acting Permanent Representative to the United Nations, United States:
“President Trump has clearly reiterated that it is time for Iran to make peace. Despite the President’s continuous, good-faith efforts to negotiate and resolve these issues diplomatically, Iran’s leaders stonewalled and ultimately refused to agree to a deal that would have prevented them from ever obtaining a nuclear weapon.”

“Resolution 2231 must conclude on schedule and Iran rejects any attempt to revive expired provisions under any pretext.”

15. SOUNDBITE (English) Danny Danon Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Israel:
“The IDF achieved complete air superiority over Tehran. Struck a severe blow to the military leadership and destroyed dozens of key regime's targets. Our forces achieved the objective of our operation in removing the threat.”

The Security Council convened today (24 Jun) for its biannual briefing on the implementation of resolution 2231 of 20 July 2015, which endorsed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) on Iran’s nuclear programme.
Briefing the Council, the Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, Rosemary DiCarlo said that the military escalation between Israel and Iran since 13 June and United States air strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities on 21 June complicated prospects for achieving full implementation of Resolution 2231 (2015).
She added, “Iran’s strikes yesterday on a base in Qatar, an action which the Secretary-General condemned, further exacerbated insecurity in an already tense region.”
DiCarlo, also said, “At the heart of this conflict is the nature of Iran’s nuclear programme. Following the deadly clashes of the past 12 days, the ceasefire agreement is an opportunity to avoid a catastrophic escalation and achieve a peaceful resolution of the Iran nuclear issue.”
Ambassador Stavros Lambrinidis, head of the European Union delegation to the United Nations, also addressed the Council on behalf of the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy in her capacity as the Coordinator of the Joint Commission established by the JCPOA.
He provided an overview of the work of the JCPOA’s Joint Commission, which includes the remaining parties to the agreement: China, France, Germany, Iran, Russia, and the United Kingdom. The EU acts as the coordinator of the Commission. The United States, a former participant in the JCPOA, withdrew from the agreement in 2018.
Lambrinidis stressed, “A lasting solution to the Iranian nuclear issue can only be through a negotiated deal, not military action. A fully functioning nuclear deal will be conducive to the stabilization of the whole region.”
He also said, “Moreover, the IAEA is and should remain the sole impartial and independent international organization to monitor and verify the implementation of Iran’s nuclear non-proliferation commitments. Diplomacy must prevail.”
