Atom Streit: Imminent Sanctions Step Against Iran

Time is running out for Iran. The reimplementation of UN sanctions is on the horizon – unless Tehran changes course at the last minute. Germany, France, and the UK could initiate the mechanism for the reintroduction of UN sanctions as early as this Thursday. The European powers seem determined to take action due to Iran’s failure to comply with the nuclear deal. The United States, a key supporter of the sanctions, has been pressuring European countries to act against Iran. The looming threat of sanctions is putting pressure on Iranian authorities to reconsider their position. Tehran’s compliance with the nuclear deal has been subject to scrutiny and criticism by international partners.
