Rubio praises ‘snapback’ sanctions back in place on Iran

Following Iran’s refusal to admit IAEA inspectors into its nuclear sites, European leaders have decided to reinstate sanctions on the country. The move comes after warnings from the European Union and the German foreign ministry in early September about Iran’s lack of compliance with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. Should Iran persist in its non-compliance, sanctions were expected to be reimposed. The ‘snapback’ sanctions were welcomed by Senator Rubio, highlighting the importance of holding Iran accountable for its actions.
