UN reimposes ‘snapback’ sanctions, including arms embargo on Iran

Britain, France, and Germany have accused Iran of breaching the 2015 nuclear agreement aimed at preventing the country from acquiring nuclear weapons. Iran consistently denies any intentions of developing nuclear arms. With the expiration of a decade-long UN arms embargo on Iran approaching, the United States initiated the ‘snapback’ process to reimpose sanctions on Iran. This move faced opposition from other signatories of the nuclear deal, highlighting the ongoing tensions surrounding Iran’s nuclear program.
