Russia has declared the UN Security Council’s snapback mechanism on Iran “null and void,” vowing not to comply with the sanctions as tensions escalate over Tehran’s nuclear program.
Speaking during an emergency session on Friday, Russia’s representative said: “There is no snapback, and there will be no snapback, as far as we are concerned.”
The statement comes after the E3 nations—Britain, France, and Germany—moved to reactivate sanctions on Iran, set to take effect at midnight GMT. A joint Russian-Chinese resolution seeking to delay the enforcement is widely expected to fail.
The development underscores growing divisions within the Security Council over how to handle Iran’s nuclear ambitions and the future of the 2015 nuclear deal.If You’re Reading From Phoenix Click On Read Original at the top To Read Full Article
