President Trump v. Iran Security Sanctions Reinstatement Procedures Intent to Start Soon August 16 12:09
President Trump has announced that he will soon begin a procedure to revive Security Council sanctions against Iran after the United States did not allow the United Nations Security Council to extend the arms embargo to Iran.
The UN's measure to prohibit Iran from importing and exporting arms is to be lifted this October based on a nuclear agreement between Iran and the United States and Europe five years ago, but the United States extends the measure. Was submitted to the Security Council and voted on the 14th, but it was rejected due to opposition from China and Russia.
In response, President Trump announced at a press conference on Wednesday that he would soon begin a procedure to restore Security Council sanctions against Iran, including the embargo on arms.
The United States will use a mechanism called "snapback" to restore pre-agreement Security Council sanctions if there is a violation of Iran in the nuclear agreement. It is inevitable.
Russian President Vladimir Putin urges the countries involved in the nuclear agreement to hold an online summit to prevent the situation from deteriorating.
But President Trump said, "I probably don't hold it now. I want to wait until the presidential election is over. Iran hopes I'll lose in the election," he said negatively.
Regarding the revival of sanctions, Russia and China argue that the US, which has left the nuclear agreement, does not have the right to seek revival, whereas the Trump administration has claimed that it has the right, and the attack and defense of the related countries over Iran. Is expected to become more intense in the future.
