According to the Financial Times’s report, France, England and Germany said the United Nations, the West and Nuclear Program, they support to restore instant sanctions in Iran if they do not re -enter the dialogue.
“We have clearly stated that if Iran is not willing to reach a diplomatic solution before the end of August 2025, or that an extension has not caught the opportunity or that an extension has not caught the opportunity, and that E3 is ready to trigger the snapback mechanism.”
Reported Two months after bombing Iran’s nuclear facilities during a 12 -day conflict with Israel and the United States’s regional tensions and energy prices, the UN Security Council and UN Secretary General António Guterres were delivered to Iran’s nuclear facilities.
The CNBC report could not verify the report immediately and for the comment, the UN contacted the Iranian Foreign Ministry and its mission.
‘Snapback’ sanctions are part of a mechanism built in the 2015 Iran’s nuclear agreement – officially a common comprehensive action plan or JCPOA. The agreement lifted a series of sanctions on Iran in exchange for a nuclear program.
They were designed to act as a railing: If Iran committed a “significant performance” of the agreement, any of the countries that sign JCPOA can trigger the automatically reorganization of the UN sanctions removed under the agreement, and no other permanent member can veto.
In mid -July, the EU said it would start the process of restoring UN sanctions in Tehran on August 29th if it does not make enough progress to limit its nuclear program. Unless it triggers the option of Russia, China or E3 – Snapback, one of the rest of the agreement, will end on October 18th.
“Snapback ‘ Write In the European negotiations with Iran, “Middle East and North African Program Deputy Director Ellie Geranmayeh at the European Council of Foreign Relations, wrote in a report in July.
What are the ‘Snapback’ sanctions?
Iran’s consequences may be terrible and once again the possibility of tension and conflict. Iranian authorities, the country’s sanctions are implied again, the Nuclear Soliferation Agreement (NPT) suggested that.
Tehran said that he was once again open to directing with the US, but he stopped accepting the conditions of abandoning the uranium enrichment program. Sixth talks with the US fell after the bombing of Israel and the United States in mid -June to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Trump is very clear that he will not accept a nuclear armed Iran. Bets have come up in recent years: Since Trump withdrawn from the agreement, Iran has been enriched and stocked at the highest levels of uranium by directing the United Nations nuclear observer, the international atomic energy agency, to give numerous warnings.
Tehran insists that his program is only for civilian energy purposes, but according to IAEA, Iran’s nuclear enrichment reached 60% purity-2015 A significantly higher than the enrichment limit put forward in the nuclear agreement, and 90% of the grade of 90% of the weapon is a shorter technical step.
