Iran\u2019s escalatory nuclear activity undermines the counter-proliferation value of the JCPOA and threatens its preservation. We began talks in April to restore the JCPOA and negotiated in good faith until Iran paused talks in June. We call on Iran to return to negotiations without delay.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Andrejs Pildegovi\u010ds, permanent representative of the Republic of Latvia said: &#8220;Despite efforts by the EU and the IAEA, Iran has repeatedly reduced its commitment to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. Latvia expresses deep concerns over Iran\u2019s actions and calls for immediate resumption of verification and reporting activities and for the talks in Vienna to continue.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Krzysztof Szczerski permanent representative of the Republic of Poland to the UN said: &#8220;On another regional issue of the global security range, we note with concern steps taken by Iran violating its obligations under the JCPOA, highlighted by the IAEA reports. Exceeding uranium enrichment and stocks significantly above JCPOA limits and producing uranium metal make it impossible to be assured about the exclusively peaceful nature of the Iranian nuclear programme. We hope Iran will return to JCPOA negotiations in Vienna without any further delay and that parties will finally reach consensus on the JCPOA reactivation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; text-align: justify;\">UPDATE: 2:30 PM CEST<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iranian Regime-Backed Houthis Are a Threat to International Shipping- Yemeni Official<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-245694\" title=\"Moamer-al-Aryani-yemen\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Moamer-al-Aryani-yemen.jpg\" alt=\"Moamer al Eryani yemen\" width=\"1000\" height=\"566\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Moamer-al-Aryani-yemen.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Moamer-al-Aryani-yemen-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Moamer-al-Aryani-yemen-768x435.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Moamer-al-Aryani-yemen-150x85.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Moamer-al-Aryani-yemen-696x394.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Moammar Al-Eryani, Yemeni Minister of Information stressed that the terrorist acts of Houthi militants affiliated with the Iranian regime are a threat to international naval lines.<br \/>\nThe Yemeni Minister of Information said: &#8220;We call on the international community, the United Nations, the U.N. and U.S. envoys to Yemen to fulfill their responsibilities in maintaining regional and international security while condemning the actions of Houthi militants.&#8221;<br \/>\nMeanwhile, in a letter to the U.N.
