France warns of sanctions on Iran if nuclear deal not reached
- France announced on Monday at the UN Security Council that it will reimpose UN sanctions on Iran if nuclear deal talks fail before the October expiration of the 2015 agreement.
- This warning follows ongoing US-Iran negotiations and a US withdrawal from the 2015 deal, with the E3 nations seeking to trigger the snapback sanctions mechanism by August.
- The 2015 nuclear deal limits uranium enrichment to 3.67 percent, but Iran now enriches to 60 percent, raising proliferation concerns amid Tehran's claim its program is civilian.
- French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot emphasized that Europe would promptly reinstate all sanctions removed a decade ago if the Iranian nuclear deal expires without ensuring European security interests.
- If sanctions return, they would severely damage Iran's economy and close its access to technology and markets, while diplomacy remains the preferred but narrow path to resolution.
