  1. It is in the interests of the entire international community and critical to ensuring the peaceful development of Iran’s nuclear programme while also promoting stability in the Middle East. Mexico will continue to consistently defend the right of all countries to benefit from the peaceful use of nuclear energy. However, it is clear that that right carries with it the obligation to comply with the commitments and obligations set forth in the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, including full cooperation with the IAEA.

  2. Beyond the opposing views about missile launches and the use of space technologies, the fact is that the launches and the responses to which they give rise take us further and further away from the atmosphere and the trust that are needed at this time. Incidentally, we have taken note of the various letters that have been sent in connection with the transfers mentioned in paragraph 4 of annex B of resolution 2231 (2015), and we await information from the Secretariat in that regard. As this is the last time we will be making a statement on Iran’s nuclear programme as an elected member of the Security Council, Mexico calls on the United States and Iran to return to full compliance with resolution 2231 (2015) and the JCPOA, and on all key actors to redouble diplomatic efforts to that end.

  3. It is important to restore access for the IAEA without preconditions, and to remove any doubts about possible actions by Iran that have gone beyond the agreements reached in the JCPOA or its declared reversibility. At the same time, we call on the United States to lift its unilateral sanctions against Iran, especially those imposed extraterritorially or on third States. That would be a way to build trust and bring about significant progress. We understand the position of those who consider it a priority to address the broader security dynamics in the region, including with regard to missiles and the transfer of weapons, which are clearly interconnected issues. However, we believe that it would be better to opt for separate agreements that do not make that aspect conditional on a return to the JCPOA.

  4. As the Security Council awaits JCPOA participants’ full return to the agreement, the respective reports of the Secretary-General (S/2022/912) and the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have described an increase in the enrichment of uranium-235 of up to 60 per cent, the installation of new and modernized centrifuge cascades beyond the limits agreed to in the JCPOA, as well as research into more advanced activities such as metal production. In addition to those activities, for which there is no clear civilian application, the IAEA does not have the ongoing and permanent access required to monitor and verify the status of Iran’s nuclear programme. Transparency and cooperation are key elements of a properly functioning JCPOA.

  5. The agreement represented a major shift in the Security Council’s approach to addressing Iran’s nuclear programme, moving away from a sanctions regime and opting instead for a collaborative approach. Despite the international community’s optimism and broad support for the JCPOA, it is particularly worrying that there has been a retreat from full compliance in the two years of our term as an elected member of the Council.

  6. Mr. Sánchez Kiesslich (Mexico) (spoke in Spanish): We thank Under-Secretary-General DiCarlo and the Chargé d’Affaires ad interim of the Delegation of the European Union to the United Nations for their briefings. We also thank Ambassador Mythen for his report (see S/2022/937) in his capacity as Facilitator of the implementation of resolution 2231 (2015). We welcome the representatives of Iran and Germany to today’s meeting. Mexico has supported the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) since its adoption in 2015, as we believe that it is a successful example of multilateral diplomacy and a key component of the international non-proliferation architecture.
