The step opens a 30‑day UN review that could reinstate sanctions unless Tehran resumes meaningful cooperation.

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

  • Paris, London and Berlin formally notified the Security Council that Iran is in significant non‑compliance and invoked the JCPOA snapback mechanism, activating a 30‑day process to restore suspended UN sanctions.
  • The Security Council is holding a closed‑door session on Friday at European request to consider the notification and next steps.
  • Iran condemned the move as illegal, vowed an appropriate response, and warned cooperation with the IAEA could be compromised as the E3 press for full access and renewed negotiations.
  • The IAEA reports inspectors have returned to work at the Bushehr nuclear plant, but broader verification across Iran remains limited and has not fully resumed.
  • Reactions are divided: Russia and China criticized the step and cautioned against severe consequences, the UN urged using the window for dialogue, and the United States signaled openness to direct talks as the clock runs into UN General Assembly week.
