France, UK and Germany have said the United Nations supports the restoration of sanctions in Iran if it did not re -entered the dialogue with the West through its nuclear program, Financial Times reports.
“We made it clear that if Iran was not ready until the end of August 2025, or not used the possibility of expanding, E3 is ready to call a Snapback mechanism,” – using a trim that describes the European signatories for the 2015 nuclear transaction, said in a letter received in the FT.
Reported Two months later, a letter from the UN Security Council and the UN Secretary -General Antonio Guteres was delivered Israel and US bombed Iran’s nuclear facilities During a 12-day conflict that set regional tensions and energy prices.
CNBC could not immediately check the report and contact the Iranian Foreign Ministry and the UN mission for comment.
Snapback sanctions are part of the mechanism that was built into the original Iranian nuclear transaction 2015 – officially called a joint comprehensive action plan or JCPOA. The transaction has removed a number of sanctions on Iran in exchange for vigor for its nuclear program.
They were designed to act as a fence: when Iran makes a “significant unprofessional” deal, any of the countries signed by JCPOA can cause automatic re -impact of UN sanctions that have risen in accordance with the agreement, and no other permanent member can put it on the veto.
In mid -July, the EU said he would start the process of restoring UN sanctions on Tehran on August 29, if it does not reach sufficient progress in restriction of its nuclear program. These sanctions should end on October 18, when one of the other parties to the transaction – Russia, China or E3 member – causes Snapback.
“” Snapback “looks ready The word summer In the European negotiations with Iran, Eli Granma, Deputy Director for the Middle East and North Africa program at the European Foreign Relations Council, wrote a report in July.

The consequences for Iran can become terrible and can once again generate tensions and conflict. Iranian officials suggested that the country could withdraw from a nuclear contract of non -proliferation (NPT) if these sanctions would be repeated.
For his part, Tehran said he remained open to the US once again, but stopped accepting conditions to abandon the uranium enrichment program. The sixth round of negotiations from the United States was dropped after Israel, and the United States started bombing Iran’s nuclear facilities in mid -June.
Iran’s economy has deteriorated sharply During the years of Trump in 2018, the US retreated from JCPOA.
Trump made it clear that he would not take nuclear armed Iran. Bettings have been raised in recent years: while Trump has come out of the deal, Iran enriches and accumulates uranium at the highest level, if -do, By prompting the International Nuclear Energy Agency, the United Nations Nuclear Caler issues numerous warnings.
Tehran insists that its program is intended only for a civil energy goal, but nuclear enrichment of Iran has reached 60% of the cleanliness, according to the IAEA, is slightly higher than the enrichment limit that was put in the 2015 nuclear transaction, and a short technical step from the level of weapons in 90%.
