بیانیه نایاک در مورد درگذشت استاد شجریان
در سالی که پر بود از چالشهای بیسابقه و اخبار بد، خبر درگذشت استاد محمدرضا شجریان ضایعهای بس ناگوار و ویرانگر است. شورای ملی ایرانیان امریکا (نایاک) به خانواده و فرزندان ارجمند استاد، بخصوص همایون شجریان که پا جای پدر گذاشته و همه ایرانیانی که سوگوار این فقدان بزرگند، عمیقاً تسلیت میگوید. شجریان که با عنوان «استاد» شناخته میشد، تنها یک خواننده اسطورهای نبود. صدای منحصر به فرد او به فریاد عدالتطلبی ملت تبدیل شد؛ مبارزهای که عمر آن به بیش از یک دهه رسیده است
Zarif Says Iran Might Leave Nonproliferation Treaty
Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said Iran was prepared to leave the NPT after the JCPOA’s European parties triggered the accord’s “dispute resolution mechanism.”The dispute resolution mechanism initiates a process that can potentially lead to the reimposition of UN Security Council sanctions against Iran.
Zarif stated that Iran’s steps to reduce compliance with the JCPOA are over, but that it was prepared to leave the NPT if UN sanctions are reimposed. He stated: “The steps to reduce compliance are over but if European countries continue their improper behavior or send Iran’s case to the UN Security Council, we will leave the NPT.”
