UN Sanctions on Iran Snap Back After West Triggers JCPOA Mechanism

Western activation of the JCPOA snapback restores sweeping nuclear and missile limits on Iran.

Overview

  • The UN measures reentered force at 00:00 GMT on Sept. 28 after a RussianChinese bid to delay them failed in the Security Council by a 4–9–2 vote.
  • Tehran condemned the move as legally unfounded, recalled its ambassadors to the UK, France and Germany, and warned of a firm response.
  • Russia said it will not recognize or implement the reinstated sanctions, calling them illegal.
  • The restored regime includes an arms embargo, bans on uranium enrichment and reprocessing, curbs on ballistic‑missile‑related activities, travel bans, asset freezes and restrictions on nuclear‑related materials.
  • Iran’s currency fell to a record low of about 1.12 million rials per US dollar on the black market, while US and European officials said channels for direct talks remain open.
