Europeans Say Iran Has Yet to Take Necessary Actions to Stop the "Snapback" of UN Sanctions
(AP) Jon Gambrell - European officials told Iran on Wednesday it had yet to take the actions needed to stop the return of UN sanctions over its nuclear program, warning time was running out. The EU's top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, warned: "Iran must show credible steps towards addressing the demands of France, UK and Germany, and this means demonstrating full cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency and allowing inspections of all nuclear sites without delay." The German Foreign Ministry separately wrote on X that "Iran has yet to take the reasonable and precise actions necessary to" stop the reimposition of UN sanctions. The "snapback" of sanctions on Iran will take effect at the end of September unless the UN Security Council agrees to stop it. It will freeze Iranian assets abroad, halt arms deals with Tehran, and penalize any development of Iran's ballistic missile program.
