US EditionBritain, France and Germany launch 30-day process to reimpose UN sanctions on Iran, letter says
The UK, France, and Germany activated the UN sanctions snapback due to Iran's nuclear breaches, setting a 30-day period for diplomatic engagement before sanctions resume.
- On Thursday, the UK, France, and Germany initiated a 30-day countdown to reinstate United Nations penalties related to Iran’s nuclear activities.
- This step follows Iran's refusal to cooperate with IAEA inspections after US and Israeli strikes on its nuclear sites in June and stalled diplomacy since then.
- Iran’s deputy foreign minister Kazem Gharibabadi warned that advancing snapback sanctions would likely end Iran’s cooperation with the IAEA and disrupt ongoing monitoring.
- Iran’s rial traded over 1 million to one US dollar on Thursday, reflecting investor concerns about renewed sanctions and economic strain since the 2015 nuclear deal.
- The snapback move risks further isolating Iran, damaging its economy, and escalating regional tensions while diplomacy may intensify before the mechanism expires on October 18.
