Tehran insists on revoking all anti-Iranian UN Security Council resolutions

Anti-Iranian measures include a ban of deals with weapons and nuclear technologies, a ban on activities linked with the development of ballistic missiles, and other sanctions

LAUSANNE, March 29. /TASS/. Iran insists on revoking all anti-Iranian resolutions of the United Nations Security Council, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi said on Sunday.

"Iran insists on revoking all resolutions of the UN Security Council under the future agreement," he said.

Starting from 2006, the United Nations Security Council has passed eight resolutions in relation to the Iranian nuclear program. Anti-Iranian measures include a ban of deals with weapons and nuclear technologies, a ban on activities linked with the development of ballistic missiles and targeted sanctions against Iranian individuals and organizations, such as asset freezing and bans on trips. Iran has repeatedly demanded these and other sanctions unilaterally imposed on it by the United States and a number of other countries be lifted.

At a meeting in Vienna in November 2014, foreign ministers of Iran and the P5+1 group of international mediators /the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council plus Germany/ extended the deadline for a comprehensive agreement on the Iranian nuclear dossiers till late June 2015. However they agreed to reach a political decision in principle on disputable issues by late March.

It is not yet clear when the Lausanne talks will be over.
