I am writing to you in response to the joint letter dated 9 June 2025 from the representatives of France, Germany and the United Kingdom (the “E3”) concerning the implementation of Security Council resolution 2231 (2015) and the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). That letter, regrettably, reflects yet another instance of the E3 attempting to shift blame and deflect attention from their own persistent and well-documented failures to uphold their obligations, while levelling baseless and politically motivated accusations against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

In this regard, I wish to bring the following points to your attention and that of the members of the Security Council:

1. The Islamic Republic of Iran categorically rejects the allegations contained in the letter, which ignore the critical context and misrepresent the reality of the current status of the JCPOA, the circumstances surrounding Iran’s nuclear programme, and the responsibilities of the parties to the agreement. The E3 ’s assertions are not only factually misleading but also legally unsound and politically biased.
