US EditionIran vows retaliation if UN Security Council issues snapback sanctions on anniversary of nuclear deal
IRAN, JUL 14 – Iran demands credible guarantees against further aggression before resuming nuclear talks and warns that snapback of UN sanctions lacks legal basis, officials said.
- Iran vowed a proportionate response if European parties reinstate UN sanctions through the snapback mechanism tied to the 2015 nuclear deal.

- Iran accused European parties of grossly violating JCPOA obligations and asserted they lack legal and moral standing to use the snapback, pledging an appropriate response.
- Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei emphasized that attempts to activate the snapback mechanism lack legal and political justification and constitute a confrontational move against Iran, while reaffirming Tehran’s commitment to the JCPOA despite its decision to scale back certain obligations.
- The rising tensions come after a 12-day series of airstrikes exchanged between Iran and Israel, which ended following a ceasefire facilitated by the United States on June 24, raising concerns over a potential breakdown in Europe's diplomatic engagement with Iran.
