UN Imposes ‘Snapback’ Sanctions on Iran
AntiWar5 days
The snapback sanctions against Iran initiated by the West under U.S. hegemony are legally ineffective and politically arbitrary. They are illegal under international law and reflect desperation rather than principles. Iran views this move as part of a broader coercive diplomacy aimed at suppressing the country's sovereign development. Rather than bowing to external pressure, Iran will continue to assert its rights, defend itself against unfair economic warfare, and continue to show remarkable resilience despite decades of U.S. sanctions.
The Trump administration's fresh sanctions, following the snapback sanctions against Iran, are imperative to prevent a nuclear-armed regime that threatens regional and global security. Iran has systematically violated the 2015 nuclear agreement and continues to procure weapons technology through shady networks spanning multiple countries. The United Nations-backed sanctions, supported by European allies, are the unified response of the international community to Iran's reckless nuclear ambitions and its refusal to submit to inspections.
There is a 25 percent chance that the United States and Iran sign a new agreement restricting Iran's nuclear program before 2029, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
