(Bloomberg) – The UN will re -retreat with the wide sanctions for Iran after days of frantic diplomacy in New York failed to alleviate the stand -off over the Teheránský nuclear program.
The vote was not a surprise due to the opposition of American and Western allies to any expansion of sanctions. Last month, France, Germany and the United Kingdom introduced motion called “Snapback” sanctions, and quoted limited cooperation between Tehran and Iaea and wider negotiations on non -explaining.
Nevertheless, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met European diplomats on the outskirts of the UN General Assembly in New York last week in an effort to find the last trench agreement to avert sanctions and prevent a new crisis in a ten -year dispute over Iranian nuclear ambition.
“The text of the Russian Federation and China is a hollow effort to release Iran any responsibility for its ongoing, significant failure to meet its nuclear obligations and all without required to require tangible diplomatic progress,” said Dorothy Shea, representative of the US Deputy UN.
Sanctions were canceled under the 2015 nuclear agreement with the US and other nations. However, Iran has seen a limited advantage in recent years because President Donald Trump has left the agreement in 2018 and bought a number of US sanctions again.
Russian Deputy Ambassador killed the US and other Western nations before the vote.
“This is not diplomacy, it is a fraud, lies and theater in absurd,” said ambassador Dmitry Polyanskiy.
This step came months after Israel and the US carried out air strikes in Iran and focused on infrastructure, including the key nuclear sites of the country. Iran was in the middle of a negotiating process with the United States about his atomic activities when the attacks occurred, and since then he has severely reduced the access of IAEA and said that he would not continue to talk to Washington while continues to make military threats.
Satellite images after Israeli and US strikes confirmed that they have destroyed large parts of the above -ground complex and also resulted in chemical and radiological risks that Iran says from renewing IAEA monitoring.
For years, Iran has denied that his nuclear program is for military purposes and both IAEA inspectors and the American intelligence community have confirmed the absence of a weapon program in the country since the beginning of 2000.
Europeans are now acting because their right to re -re -re -sanctions is to expire 18 October. Process – built in the original agreement of Iran in 2015 – requires completion of 30 days.
UN penalties, which will enter into force on Saturday evening, will also undergo Iran a full embargo of weapons, a ban on enrichment and reworking uranium, a ban on any activities related to ballistic missiles and their development, global freezing of assets and traveling in some Iranian individuals and companies.
While officials have re -evaluated the impact that sanctions on the already harassed economy will be likely to weaken the very fragile relationship of Iran with Europe and approach the country to Russia and China, which opposed European movements.
