U.S. Iran UN Security Council Declaration of Revival of Sanctions Many countries are invalid September 20 11:35
The Trump administration has declared that it has reinstated UN sanctions that were lifted following a nuclear deal five years ago over Iran.
On the other hand, many countries of the UN Security Council are in a position that the United States is invalid because it has already withdrawn from the nuclear agreement, and the US unilateral action to increase pressure on Iran stands out.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo issued a statement on the 19th, declaring that UN sanctions on Iran have been revived, saying, "We welcome the resurrection of virtually all UN sanctions on Iran."
The United Nations has suspended many of the sanctions it has imposed in response to Iran's nuclear agreement five years ago, and plans to lift the arms embargo on Iran next month in accordance with the agreement.
However, the Trump administration unilaterally notified the UN Security Council last month that it had taken steps to revive the sanctions, calling for a reinstatement of UN sanctions, including the continuation of the arms embargo.
On the other hand, many UN Security Council countries are unlikely to accept the US declaration, saying that the US has already withdrawn from the agreement and is invalid.
With these moves in mind, Pompeo said in a statement, "If UN member states fail to meet their obligations to implement sanctions, the United States is ready to exercise its powers." Shows the attitude to take.
The Trump administration seems to be aware of its diplomatic appeal to the conservatives ahead of the upcoming presidential election in November, highlighting America's unilateral action to increase pressure on Iran.
