France, Germany and the United Kingdom have moved to re -introduce UN sanctions for Iran about their nuclear program, which is a step that will further deepen Tehran isolation after his atomic sites have been repeatedly bombed during the 12 -day War with Israel.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in a call with his European counterparts criticized this step and called him “unfounded, illegal and lacked a legal basis”.
The transfer of European nations does not mean immediate re -connection of sanctions. Instead, a process called “Snapback” begins with a 30 -day consultation period in which Iranian and European diplomats are likely to intensify the behavior to prevent re -testimony.
European nations announced the UN that Iran had violated its obligations under the 2015 agreement, which limits its nuclear activities and moved to the restoration of harsh sanctions suspended in this Agreement.
What is the 2015 nuclear agreement?
The common complex action plan (JCPOA), which was filled in 2015, was among other record nuclear agreements between Iran and several world powers, including Great Britain, France, Germany, USA.
As part of the agreement, Iran has undertook to expand his nuclear program – a limiting level of enrichment of uranium and supplies – and at the same time enables monitoring the international atomic energy agency (IAEA) in exchange for relief from international sanctions.
The “Snapback” – which forms a critical part of this agreement allows any side to automatically re -re -restore sanctions on Iran if it is found to significantly violate its obligations.
According to the UN resolution that manages the agreement, no member of the Security Council can veto sanctions, even Iranian allies of Russia and China.
What happens in the “Snapback”?
British, French and German foreign ministers proposed that Snapback considered a way to encourage negotiations with Tehran, said AP.
- Again, it would freeze Iranian assets abroad,
- And they stop with Tehran’s weapons and penalize, among other things, the development of their ballistic missile program.
How did Iran react?
“The Iranian Islamic Republic will respond appropriately to this unlawful and unfounded measure,” said Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, AP said.
