Calling on the United Kingdom, France, and Germany (E3) to initiate the snapback of sanctions on Iran under United Nations Security Council Resolution 2231 (2015).
This resolution urges the United Kingdom, France, and Germany (E3) to activate the snapback mechanism for sanctions against Iran, as outlined in United Nations Security Council Resolution 2231 (2015). It highlights Iran's consistent breaches of its commitments under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and its international obligations, which pose a significant threat to global security. The resolution details Iran's violations, including increasing its uranium enrichment to 60 percent purity, expanding its enrichment capabilities, resuming activity at prohibited nuclear facilities, and obstructing International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) monitoring. It asserts that Iran used previous sanctions relief to fund terrorist proxies and its ballistic missile program, further condemning the Russian Federation and China for supporting Iran's malign activities. Emphasizing the urgency, the resolution notes that the snapback mechanism expires on October 18, 2025, and calls for its immediate invocation to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. It reaffirms the United States' right to take necessary measures and supports the imposition of robust sanctions on Iran's nuclear and missile programs.
