E3 Triggers UN Sanctions Snapback on Iran as Germany Urges Citizens to Leave

Tehran rejects the move as unlawful, signaling conditional readiness to resume talks.

Overview

  • Britain, France and Germany formally notified the UN Security Council, starting a 30‑day process that could restore all UN measures suspended under the 2015 nuclear accord.
  • Germany tightened its travel advisory, warned against trips to Iran, urged nationals to depart, and said its embassy in Tehran can currently provide only limited consular assistance.
  • The German Foreign Office cautioned that potential Iranian countermeasures could affect German interests and citizens, citing prior threats from Iranian officials.
  • Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghtschi condemned the snapback as baseless and unlawful and called on the European trio to reverse course.
  • In a message to EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, Iran indicated willingness to pursue fair and balanced negotiations if partners show good will, while analysts warn of possible steps such as curbing IAEA cooperation or leaving the NPT.
