UN (AP) – The UN Security Council is expected to vote for the resolution on Friday. Reimposes Iran’s sanctions on the nuclear programAs a European official I warn Tehran that time is running out Come to a diplomatic resolution ahead of next week’s annual UN world leaders’ gathering.
The resolution released by South Korea, the current president of the current 15-member council, requires at least nine votes to stop sanctions at the end of the month, as outlined in Iran’s 2015 nuclear deal with the world power.
Diplomats have shown that despite their different views, they do not have enough support to avoid all sanctions against Iran without any conditions.
France, Germany, UK I moved last month ” Snapback mechanismAutomatically reimpose all UN sanctions in effect prior to nuclear trade. These penalties included traditional arms embargoes, restrictions on ballistic missile development, freezes of assets, travel bans and bans on the production of nuclear-related technologies.
This process is designed to maintain a veto unless the most powerful UN organizations agree to stop it.
Over the past few weeks, diplomacy between Iran and European countries has been strengthened, but so far there has been no solution.
When asked in a Thursday interview on Israeli Channel 12 whether the “snapback” was completed, French President Emmanuel Macron said, “Yes, I think it is because the latest news we had from Iranians aren’t serious.”
Germany and the European Union leaders had warned Iran that they had not yet taken the necessary steps to stop the rechallenge of sanctions against the Islamic Republic, which has already been shaken by the 12-day war and the decades-long financial crisis.
“The window to find a diplomatic solution to Iran’s nuclear issue is closed very quickly,” said Kaha Karas, the top EU diplomat. “Iran must demonstrate reliable steps to address the demands of France, the UK and Germany. This means demonstrating full cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency and demonstrating testing of all nuclear sites without delay.”
In a statement issued hours later, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragut once again argued that the re-issuance of UN sanctions was “no legal or logical legitimacy.”
He also pointed out the fact that it is Iran and the United Nations nuclear watchdog. Previously reached an Egyptian-mediated transaction To grant the IAEA access to all Iranian nuclear sites and to Tehran report on the location of all its nuclear materials.
Details of the contract were not announced immediately. In a speech to the governor of his agency in Vienna last week, IAEA director Rafael Grossi said the document “provides a clear understanding of the inspection notice and procedures for its implementation.”
The contract “contains all Iranian facilities and installations, and we are also considering necessary reports on all attacked facilities, including the nuclear material present in them,” Grossi added, saying that “opens the way for inspection and access for each individual” without specifying when it will occur.
The 12-day war that began against Iran in June Israel saw both Israelites and Americans Bomb Iran’s nuclear sitewhich raised doubts about the status of Tehran’s uranium stockpile, was enriched to almost weapon-grade levels.
Using a “snapback” mechanism can increase tensions between Iran and the West. It is unclear how Iran will respond given that in the past, authorities threatened to withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, abandoned the treaty in 2003 and subsequently built atomic weapons.
