UN security council fails to prevent ‘snapback’ nuclear sanctions on Iran | Iran
On Friday, the UN Security Council could not prevent the restructuring of the UN sanctions on Iran and punishing measures on the nuclear program before the last delivery date.
Unless the nine -member Security Council agrees to expand the relief of sanctions, the UN sanctions on Iran will be re -established at the end of the month. The Friday decision, which was put forward by South Korea, received support from only four countries – China, Russia, Pakistan and Algeria.
The vote is likely to force the relations between Iran and the West. In accordance with the 2015 nuclear agreement conditions with Iran, any member of the agreement may call Snapback UN sanctions within 30 days if he thinks that Iran is not in accordance with the conditions of Iran. This will automatically re -express all UN sanctions with a weapon embargo, asset freezing and travel bans before 2015.
Last month, France, Germany and England triggered the Snapback provision of the agreement after refusing to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors assigned to monitor the implementation of the agreement.
Two weeks later, Iran agreed to continue to cooperate with IAEA, but has not yet been able to carry out all audit activities, and the body’s ability to operate in the country has been restricted for years.
Since the launch of the Snapback mechanism, intensive diplomacy has been realized between European powers and Iran to reach an agreement to prevent sanctions. Negotiations were not efficient, but after the vote, Britain said it was still open to diplomacy on Friday.
“The United Kingdom remains dependent on a diplomatic solution. We are ready to participate more next week and beyond to participate in a diplomatic more.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry said on Friday that he kept the path of diplomacy continuously and saw the reorganization of sanctions as “illegal, unfounded and proactive”.
Iran is interested in the influence of the 12-day Iran-Israeli War, when Israel launched surprise attacks against the country’s nuclear program. Iran insists that the nuclear program is civilized and does not try to create a nuclear bomb.
