E3 nations threaten to resume sanctions on Iran
Tehran, Aug 13 (UNI) France, Germany, and the UK, collectively known as the E3, have once again threatened Iran with the reimposition of the snapback UN sanctions, unless the country resumes negotiations, reports Iran International. In a letter to UN Secretary-General António Guterres and the Security Council, the E3 foreign ministers reiterated their threats of reimposing international sanctions on Iran under the tenets of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, unless Tehran resumes talks or asks for a deadline extension. 'We have made it clear that if Iran is not willing to reach a diplomatic solution before the end of August 2025, or does not seize the opportunity of an extension, E3 are prepared to trigger the snapback mechanism,' the ministers wrote, according to Financial Times' report. The letter bears the signatures of French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot, Germany's Johann Wadephul, and Britain's David Lammy, and comes two months post the ceasefire between Israel and Iran, following their 12-day war. The Iranian mission to the UN did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbass Araghchi had dismissed the threats, stating that the E3 nations lacked both the capability and the authority, to reimpose said sanctions. Nonetheless, Iran's Ministry of Intelligence has warned ministries and businesses to be prepared for the looming snapback sanctions which seem more and more likely. The leaked document by the Ministry cautioned that renewed sanctions would target arms sales, freeze overseas assets, and reimpose restrictions on industries such as oil, petrochemicals, banking, shipping, insurance and sensitive technologies. As a countering move, a senior Iranian lawmaker warned on Wednesday that the parliament could move to withdraw Iran from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) if Western powers were to reimpose the UN sanctions. 'If the other side takes steps toward operationalizing the snapback mechanism and uses it, the Iranian parliament will definitely respond,' Manouchehr Mottaki, a member of parliament's economic committee, was quoted as saying by Iranian media. He said lawmakers were 'ready to pull the trigger' on an NPT exit, adding that the West had no legal grounds to restore sanctions under the 2015 nuclear deal and was using the threat only as leverage. 'If they make their threat a reality, in line with the guidance of the Supreme Leader, we will also make our threat a reality,' Mottaki said. UNI ANV
