The United Kingdom, France and Germany move to restore the sanctions of the United Nations

The United Kingdom, France and Germany began to restore the main United Nations sanctions against Iran – which was lifted under the 2015 deal – as tensions rise again on the nuclear program in Tehran.

This step will lead to the emergence of the so -called Snapback mechanism, which may lead to the return of sanctions in 30 days.

The three countries, participating in the 2015 deal, Two weeks ago They were ready to do so unless Iran agreed on a “diplomatic solution” by the end of August.

The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that this step “will seriously undermine” its continuous process with the International Atomic Energy Agency, describing it “a provocative and unnecessary escalation” as “will meet the appropriate responses.”

The talks between Iran and the United States have not resumed on its nuclear program since June when the United States bombed Iranian nuclear sites and Iran prevented inspectors supported by unaccredited facilities.

The idle economic sanctions were raised for years in exchange for restrictions on the Iranian nuclear program under an unaccounted deal between Iran, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, China and the European Union.

However, the deal was revealed after Donald Trump brought the United States, describing it as loaned and re -imposing sanctions related to the nuclear in 2018 during his first term. Iran has climbed its nuclear activities in response, and feeds a renewed crisis.

Snapback’s ruling was built in the 2015 agreement and the participant is allowed to start the process to restore sanctions if they believe that Iran has failed significantly to fulfill its nuclear obligations by notifying the United Nations Security Council.

The United Kingdom, France and Germany, known as E3, took the move in a letter to the Security Council on Thursday. The council now has 30 days to decide whether it will continue to relieve or allow sanctions.

The letter said that Iran’s lack of compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal was “clear and intentional.” It announced that Iran has a “civil justification” for its high uranium stock – purified from uranium to the nearby military degree – and that its nuclear program “is still a clear threat to international peace and security.”

E3 said that during the next thirty days they will continue to communicate with Iran “on any serious diplomatic efforts to restore its compliance with its obligations.”

British Foreign Secretary David Lami said that the UK and its European allies recently provided an extension of the relief of sanctions, mortgaging Iran to meet certain conditions.

But he added that Iran did not make “any fundamental effort” to meet these circumstances and “has constantly failed to provide reliable assurances of the nature of its nuclear program.”

The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs retreated, saying that it showed the “maximum control and fixed commitment” of diplomacy to preserve the previous deal and find a negotiating solution.

Iran urged the rejection of Snapback, but said it had been ready to interact with other members of the United Nations Security Council.

The United States has said it welcomes the start of Snapback and will work with E3 to complete it.

“At the same time, the United States remains available for direct participation with Iran – in strengthening a peaceful and permanent decision for the Iranian nuclear issue,” said a spokesman for US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Western powers and the World Nuclear Authority The International Atomic Energy Agency (International Atomic Energy Agency) says it is not convinced that the Iranian nuclear program has purely peaceful purposes. Iran strongly insists that it does not seek to obtain nuclear weapons, and that its nuclear program is only civilian.
