The UK, France, and Germany have initiated steps to reimpose UN sanctions on Iran, as reported on [Date]. This move comes after the United States triggered a “snapback” process that would restore all international sanctions against Iran lifted under the 2015 nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
The European countries argue that they maintain that the U.S. lost its standing to trigger the snapback sanctions when it withdrew from the JCPOA in 2018. They believe that since the U.S. is no longer a participant in the agreement, it cannot force the reimposition of sanctions. The UK, France, and Germany have expressed concerns that such actions could further escalate tensions in the already volatile region.
Iran, on the other hand, continues to assert that it has not violated the JCPOA and that the U.S. actions are illegal. Iranian officials have condemned the attempts to reimpose sanctions, labeling them as provocative and a clear violation of international law.
The reimposition of UN sanctions on Iran has sparked a renewed diplomatic confrontation between the Western powers and Tehran. The situation remains tense as all parties involved stand firm on their positions, raising concerns about the future of the JCPOA and the stability of the region.
This development underscores the deepening divide between the U.S. and its European allies regarding the Iran nuclear deal and broader Middle East policies.
