Europe must invoke “Snapback” sanctions to Iran, American legislators say, since Trump resumes the “maximum pressure”

First in Fox: Europe must Resting the hard sanctions of the United Nations against Iran, US legislators insisted on a new resolution that accused Tehran of repeated violations of the 2015 nuclear agreement negotiated by the Obama administration.

The bipartisan legislation asks the United Kingdom, France and Germany to invoke “Snapback” sanctions to Iran through the UN Security Council immediately, and follow the example of the United States under the executive order of “maximum pressure” of President Donald Trump to isolate Iran about his nuclear activity.

“Iran is the main state sponsor of terrorism, and its actions have led to the murder of the members of the US service,” said Senator Pete Ricketts, Republican of Neb., Republican number two in the Foreign Relations Committee of the Senate and the Main sponsor of the bill, which has 11 copatrocinadores in the Senate.

“Iran’s possession of a nuclear weapon would threaten our safety and safety of our allies. Snapback sanctions are key to ensuring that President Trump’s maximum pressure campaign is successful. ”

Representatives Claudia Tenney, RN.Y. and Josh Gottheimer, Dn.J., issued complementary legislation in the Chamber.

Under the 2015 Iran Agreement known as the Comprehensive Comprehensive Action Plan (JCPOA), Iran evaded UN sanctions, USA and the EU in exchange for promises not to follow a nuclear weapon. But Iran finally cut the access of independent inspectors to their sites and resumed nuclear activities.

A “Snapback” arrangement of the agreement said that any of the nations aware of the agreement: China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States or Germany) could reimpuse export controls, travel prohibitions and asset freezing .

But the United States withdrew from the nuclear agreement completely under president Donald Trump’s First administration and imposed its own regime of “maximum pressure”. Subsequently, the Biden administration issued sanctions exemptions and played with the idea of ​​returning to a nuclear agreement with Iran, but finally those efforts hesitated.

Tenney urged European nations to invoke Snapback sanctions before the expire agreement in October 2025.

“To invoke Snapback sanctions will restore all UN sanctions against Iran that were lifted by the failed Iran nuclear agreement of the Obama Administration,” he said.

Iran is accelerating “dramatically” uranium enrichment to up to 60% purity, below the 90% necessary for a nuclear weapon, according to the UN nuclear control agency, Rafael Grossi. Western states have said that there is no civil use for 60% uranium.

Trump restores the ‘maximum pressure’ campaign against Iran

Great Britain, France and Germany told the UN Security Council in December that they were ready to trigger the snapback of all international sanctions against Iran if necessary.

Trump himself said he was “torn” by a recent executive order that caused hard sanctions to the oil sector of Iran, and added that he was “unhappy to do it.”

“With luck, we will not have to use it much,” Trump told reporters.

But he reiterated: “We are not going to let them get a nuclear weapon.”

Trump first suggested to test a “verified nuclear peace agreement” on the military escalation. “I would prefer to make an agreement that will not hurt them,” the president told Fox News on Monday, adding that “I would love to reach an agreement with them without bombing them.”

Iran saw the president’s comments as a threat and took out the negotiations outside the table.

“No problem will be solved by negotiating with the United States,” said Ayatolá Ali Khameni of Iran, citing the “last experience.”

He called the country to further develop their military capabilities.

“We cannot be satisfied,” Khamenei said. “Let’s say that we previously establish a limit for the accuracy of our missiles, but now we believe that this limit is no longer enough. We have to move on.”

“Today, our defensive power is well known, our enemies are afraid of this. This is very important for our country,” he said.
