"No, we're not thinking about nuclear weapons."

"We have no intention of obtaining these weapons at all."

"Iran doesn't have nukes, isn't building nukes, and hasn't made the decision to build nukes."

"Iran doesn't have a bomb, and doesn't appear to be trying to make a bomb."

"They are definitely going for a nuclear weapon there is no question."

"They can have [a nuclear weapon], you know, in a matter of months, I would say."

Iran could produce a nuclear weapon "within a few months, less than a year."

"Neither Iran nor Lebanese Hezbollah is at all likely to pursue such a course of action [a full-scale attack on Israel]."

"The fighting will remain contained between Israel and Iran, and will not persist for more than a few weeks."

"Iran is unlikely to launch an all-out confrontation with Israel over Haniyeh's assassination."

"An all-out war between Israel and Iran is not inevitable, but it remains a serious risk."

"Israel & US manufactured a fake crisis with Iran that could lead to all-out war."

"There will be an all-out war between Israel and Iran and Iran will successfully disrupt flows through Strait of Hormuz."

"This [a wider Israeli war with Iran] is now more likely."

"[T]he Middle East is an inch away from an all-out war between Israel and Iran."

The U.S. Treasury Department announced sanctions on Wednesday targeting 21 entities and 17 individuals it said are involved in networks supporting Iran's missile and military aircraft production, following the reimposition of UN sanctions through the "snapback" mechanism.

France, Germany and the United Kingdom triggered the snapback mechanism to reimpose United Nations sanctions on Iran 10 years after they were lifted in a landmark international deal over its nuclear programme, accusing Iran of "continued nuclear escalation" and lack of co-operation.

France, Germany and the United Kingdom triggered the snapback mechanism to reimpose United Nations sanctions on Iran 10 years after they were lifted in a landmark international deal over its nuclear programme, accusing Iran of "continued nuclear escalation" and lack of co-operation.

The sanctioned networks operate across multiple countries, including Iran, Hong Kong, China, Germany, Turkey, Portugal and Uruguay, procuring technology for surface-to-air missile systems and US-manufactured helicopters for Iranian military use.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that "Iran's backing of terrorist proxies and its pursuit of nuclear weapons" threaten Middle East security, while Iranian officials maintain their nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only, calling the UN sanctions "unjustified and illegal."

Iran's remarkable resilience despite decades of sanctions proves America's declining global dominance and failed foreign policy. Despite nearly 50 years of restrictions, Iran has achieved 85-90% literacy, developed indigenous defense technology, and joined only nine nations capable of launching satellites independently. America's hypocritical support for Israel's genocide in Gaza while punishing Iran exposes the bankruptcy of US moral authority worldwide.

Irans self-reliance, despite American sanctions, stands as an inspiration for the world

The snapback sanctions against Iran are absolutely necessary to prevent a nuclear-armed regime that threatens global security. Iran has systematically violated the 2015 nuclear deal and continues procuring weapons technology through shadowy networks spanning multiple countries. These UN-backed sanctions, supported by European allies, represent the international community's unified response to Iran's dangerous nuclear ambitions and refusal to comply with inspections.

US, EU Impose New Sanctions on Iran Over Nuclear Program

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.
