The United Nations called for the continuation of the implementation of the JCPOA
On the anniversary of the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the Deputy Spokesperson for the United Nations Secretary-General welcomed the agreement reached between Tehran and the six world powers and called for the parties to uphold their commitments and continue its full implementation.
According to the Office of the Spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General, the organization supports the agreement, which it described as a "historic step," and welcomes the parties' announcement of a "strong commitment" to its implementation.
According to Farhan Haq, the nuclear agreement and the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action benefit all countries that participated in its formation and include "tangible benefits for the Iranian people."
Mr. Haq says the agreement underscores the importance of diplomatic efforts to ensure the peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program, while also helping to promote security and peace in the region.
The United Nations says it will continue to support the JCPOA, based on Resolution 2231 and other related decisions in the Security Council.
On July 19, 2015, the United Nations Security Council issued a resolution expressing support for the final agreement reached between Iran and the P5+1 group.
The UN statement was issued on the anniversary of the agreement's implementation in January and coincides with a new report by the International Atomic Energy Agency, which announced that Iran has fulfilled another part of its obligations under the nuclear agreement with the international community, and has collected and transferred hundreds of centrifuges from the Fordow facility.
Donald Trump, the US President-elect, who will take over the leadership of the country in a few days, is a critic of the nuclear agreement.
He had previously said he would "tear up" the deal, but recently stated that "we will monitor the implementation of the deal so strictly that the Iranian government will have no way out."
The nuclear deal is considered one of Barack Obama's legacies in US foreign policy, but it has fierce critics among Republicans.
On the other hand, Iran has also claimed in recent months that the United States has not fulfilled all of its commitments to lift sanctions. The United States government has denied these accusations.
Iran, the United States, Russia, China, France, Britain, and Germany reached an agreement in July 2015 that, on the one hand, limited Tehran's nuclear activities and, on the other, lifted international sanctions against Iran.
