E3 Triggers Iran Sanctions ‘Snapback,’ Starting 30-Day UN Countdown

The 30-day clock is intended as leverage for talks to address unresolved verification issues, including 60% uranium stocks.

La France, le Royaume-Uni et l'Allemagne ont mis jeudi leur menace à exécution en entamant à l'ONU la procédure de rétablissement des sanctions internationales contre Téhéran dans trente jours

Overview

  • France, the United Kingdom and Germany formally notified the UN Security Council, activating the JCPOA snapback that would restore UN sanctions after 30 days unless the Council votes to maintain relief.
  • After a closed-door Security Council meeting, the E3 said their earlier offer to extend sanctions relief remains available if Iran resumes full IAEA cooperation and addresses enriched‑uranium concerns, an offer Tehran has rejected.
  • Iran condemned the move as illegal and warned of an appropriate response, saying the step will severely compromise its limited cooperation with the IAEA.
  • Russia cautioned of irreparable consequences and urged a rethink, while China called the action counter-productive, highlighting splits among JCPOA signatories.
  • IAEA inspectors have resumed work at Bushehr, but Director General Rafael Grossi said full cooperation has not resumed and the fate of roughly 400 kg of 60% enriched uranium remains unresolved as the clock runs toward late September and UNGA week.
