Desde Teherán se sostiene que estas sanciones de la ONU deberían estar "centradas en la no proliferación" nuclear y militar y no en la economía.

Overview

  • A bid by Russia and China to delay the snapback for six months failed with four votes in favor, nine against, and two abstentions, clearing the way for reimposition.
  • UN sanctions take effect at 8:01 a.m. New York time Saturday (12:00 GMT), reviving arms and missile restrictions, asset freezes, travel bans, and inspection authorities.
  • Tehran denounced the move as legally void and withdrew its ambassadors from France, Germany, and the United Kingdom for consultations ahead of the measures.
  • The IAEA confirmed that inspections of Iranian nuclear sites resumed this week, following months of restricted access after earlier regional strikes.
  • France, Germany, and the United Kingdom triggered the snapback citing Iranian violations of the 2015 deal, while Russia and China dispute the process and Western members say states must comply.
