Following missile launch, Ban calls on Iran not to increase tensions through ‘hasty actions’
In January, Security Council sanctions previously imposed on Iran through resolution 2231 (2015) were terminated following the release of a report by inspectors from the UN International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The report confirmed the country had completed necessary preparatory steps to start the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action aimed at resolving the nuclear issue.
“In that resolution, the Secretary-General notes, the Council called upon Iran not to undertake any activity related to ballistic iles designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons, including launches using such ballistic ile technology,” said a statement issued by . Ban’s spokesperson.
“The Secretary-General also notes that it is for the Security Council to examine information regarding resolution 2231 (2015),” it added, noting that the UN chief urges all concerned to act with restraint.
