Trump: US to demand ‘snap back’ of UN sanctions against Iran

(Worthy News) – President Trump said his administration will call for all United Nations sanctions against Iran to be reimposed after the United States failed to extend a U.N. arms embargo.

“Today, I am directing the secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, to notify the U.N. Security Council that the United States intends to restore virtually all of the previously suspended United Nations sanctions on Iran,” Trump said during a Wednesday evening news briefing.

U.N. Security Council members Russia and China both oppose the U.S. move to “snapback” sanctions, as Trump described it. The move will likely trigger a major diplomatic row within the Security Council, given the controversial nature of the veto-proof action. The Iran nuclear deal, which was negotiated by the Obama administration, stipulated that any signatory nations could re-trigger the sanctions if Iran substantially violated the terms of the pact meant to freeze portions of Tehran’s nuclear program, a provision the U.S. is planning to invoke despite withdrawing from the agreement in 2018.
