Baku, Azerbaijan, July 19
By Khalid Kazimov – Trend:
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has criticized United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s recent report on the implementation of a Security Council resolution endorsing last July’s nuclear deal between Iran and world’s major powers.
Zarif said that Ban Ki-moon’s report was prepared based on incomplete information and the secretary-general lacks detailed information about the procedure of the nuclear talks, Fars news agency reported July 19.
Referring to allegations against Iran on exporting arms to Iraq, Zarif said that Iran will continue its policies on fighting against terrorism and the issue of sending arms to Iraq is not related to the nuclear deal.
Earlier on July 7, Reuters quoted a confidential report by the secretary-general as saying that Iran's ballistic missile launches were not consistent with the constructive spirit of the JCPOA.
The US and Russia have also criticized Ban Ki-moon for overstepping his mandate in the report.
