The United Nations strikes Iran with “Snapback” sanctions on its nuclear program

United Nations The sanctions are re -imposed on Iran Early on Sunday on its nuclear program, it increases the pressure on the Islamic Republic as its people increasingly find themselves from the food they need to survive and anxiety about their future.

The sanctions will once again freeze Iranian assets abroad, stop arms deals with Tehran, and punish any development of the Iranian ballistic missile program, among other measures. It came through a mechanism known as “Snapback”, listed in The 2015 nuclear deal With the global authorities, it comes as Iran’s economy already.

Iran is located in Iran at a low standard, which increases pressure on food prices and making daily life more challenging. This includes meat, rice and other nutrients from the Iranian dinner table.

At the same time, people worry about a new round of fighting Between Iran and Israel – Besides It is possible that the United States is – The missile sites were also struck during A 12 -day war in June It seems that it is being rebuilt.

Activists fear a wave of repression within the Islamic Republic, which has been reported that has already been executed more people this year than the past three decades.

Sina, the father of a 12 -year -old boy and spoke, said that his first name is used for fear of repercussions, that the country has never faced such a difficult time, even while depriving the Iran war and reference to the sanctions that occurred later.

“As long as I was able to remember, we have been struggling with economic hardship, and every year worse than the past,” Sina told Associated Press. “For my generation, it is too late or very early – our dreams are sliding away.”

Snapback is designed to be resistant to veto in the United Nations Security Council, which means that China and Russia have not been able to stop it on its own, because they have other proposed measures against Tehran in the past. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov described them as “trap” for Iran on Saturday.

France, Germany and the United Kingdom Snapback raised through Iran 30 days ago for further restriction of its nuclear and complete program on its negotiations with the United States.

Iran also withdrew from the International Atomic Energy Agency, which is watching after the Israeli war with the country in June, which also witnessed the American strike in the Islamic Republic. Meanwhile, the country still retains the in stock of enriched uranium by up to 60 % of purity-a short technical step away from the 90 % weapons-level levels-which are largely enough to make many atomic bombs, Tehran should choose to rush to weapons.

Iran has long insisted that its nuclear program is peaceful, although the West and the International Atomic Energy Agency say that Tehran had an organized weapons program until 2003.

The three European countries said on Sunday that they “made every effort to avoid Snapback.” But Iran “did not allow inspectors of the International Atomic Energy Agency to restore access to Iranian nuclear sites, nor did it produce and transfer to the International Atomic Energy Agency a report on its stock of enriched uranium.”

Tehran also argued that the three European countries should not be allowed to implement Snapback, which partially indicates America’s withdrawal from one side From the agreement in 2018, during the first period of President Trump’s administration.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio praised the three European countries for “action from the decisive global leadership” to impose sanctions on Iran and said “diplomacy is still an option.”

“In order for this to happen, Iran must accept direct talks,” Rubio said.

However, it is still unclear how Tehran will respond on Sunday.

“It seems that the Trump administration believes that it has post -strikes, and Iran can wait for Iran to return to the table,” said Kelissy Davbort, a Washington -based nuclear expert, said. “Given the knowledge that Iran has, given the materials that remain in Iran, this is a very dangerous assumption.”

She added that the risks also remain for Iran: “In the short term, kicking at the International Atomic Energy Agency increases the risk of miscalculation. The United States or Israel can use the lack of inspections as an excuse for more strikes.”

The effects of the June war have increased the prices of food in Iran, which has already expensive meat to reach the poorest families.

The Iranian government put the total annual inflation by 34.5 % in June, and its statistical center reported that the cost of basic foodstuffs increased more than 50 % during the same period. But even this does not reflect what people see in stores. The beans are multiplied by Pinto three times in prices per year, while the butter doubled. Rice, an essential element, rose by more than 80 % on average, to reach 100 % for distinctive varieties. Full chicken rises by 26 %, while beer and pregnancy increased by 9 %.

“Every day I see new prices higher for cheese, milk and butter,” said Sima Takhafi, a mother of two children in Tehran. “I cannot delete them like fruits and meat from my grocery menu because my children are very young so that they do not deprive him.”

Local media in Iran has reported that pressure on food and concerns about the resumption of war has witnessed more patients who have been heading to psychologists since June.

“The psychological pressure from the war that lasted 12 days on the one hand, and the fleeing clarification and prices on the other hand, has exhausted and not enthusiastically,” Dr. Sima Farrados, a clinical psychologist and professor at Shahid Bayhashi University, told the Hamshary newspaper in an interview in July.

Iran has faced many protests in the country in recent years, feeding anger at the economy, demanding women’s rights and calling for changing theocraticism in the country.

In response to these protests and the June war, Iran was putting prisoners to death at an invisible pace since 1988, when it executed thousands at the end of the Iran and Iraq war. The Human Rights Group in Oslo, based in Oslo, put the human rights center in Iran, the number of people who were executed in 2025 by more than 1,000, indicating that the number may be higher because Iran is not compared to every execution.
