Ever wondered how global diplomacy unfolds? This Tuesday (Dec 23, 2025), the UN Security Council opened up on Iran’s nuclear issue—and it got interesting! 🎤
Iran’s rep gave a shout-out to China and Russia for sticking to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) like pros, praising "principled positions" and "faithful fulfillment of commitments" all throughout the deal.
JCPOA 101: Agreed in 2015, this deal limits Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief. When everyone plays fair, it’s a win-win for global security and economic stability.
But it wasn’t all praise—Sun Lei, China’s deputy permanent rep to the UN, reminded everyone that the US walked away from the deal back in 2018 and slammed Iran with "maximum pressure" sanctions. 🚫⚡
Why it matters:
- Diplomacy in action: Iran’s gratitude shows the power of multilateral deals over unilateral moves.
- Regional ripple: Stable Iran deal = steadier oil markets for South & Southeast Asia. 🌏💡
- Next steps: Can the JCPOA find new momentum in 2026? All eyes are on future talks.
Keep your eyes peeled for more updates as global players navigate this high-stakes chess game. ♟️
