The Day the Snapback Sanctions Returned

Iranian media heavily reported on the snapback mechanism, with Foreign Minister Araghchi stating Iran would end cooperation with the IAEA if sanctions returned and would not compromise its sovereignty. Russia and China requested a six-month delay in the snapback mechanism, coinciding with an agreement between Iran and Russia to build five new nuclear power plants. In the evening, the UN Security Council session began to vote on the resolution to delay the snapback sanctions. The China and Russia resolution to delay the snapback mechanism was ultimately rejected, signaling the re-imposition of UN sanctions. Araghchi stated that Iran would not surrender to threats, and the Supreme Leader's social media account reiterated that the opposing party breaks promises.
