First on FOX: Europe must restore strict UN sanctions on Iran, US lawmakers argued in a new resolution denounced Tehran for repeated violations of a 2015 nuclear deal mediated by the Obama administration.
The bipartisan law calls on the UK, France and Germany to call on “snapback” sanctions against Iran through the UN Security Council, and based on President Donald Trump's “maximum pressure” executive order, it will nuclearize Iran. Following US leads to isolate into activities.
“Iran is a major national sponsor of terrorism, and their actions led to the murder of American servicemen,” said R-Neb, the second Republican on the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee and the lead sponsor of the bill. There are 11 conspirators in the Senate.
“Purchasing Iran's nuclear weapons will threaten our security and the security of our allies. Snapback sanctions are key to ensuring that President Trump's maximum pressure campaign will succeed.”

Rep. Claudia Tenney and Josh Gottheimer (DN.J.) of Rn.Y. issued fellow laws in the House.
Under the 2015 Iranian deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), Iran circumvented US and EU sanctions in exchange for its promise not to pursue nuclear weapons. However, Iran eventually blocked access to the site of independent inspectors and resumed nuclear activities.
The “snapback” provision in the contract states that any country violating the contract (China, France, Russia, UK, US, Germany) may require export control, travel bans and assets to be frozen. Ta.
However, the US has completely escaped from nuclear deals under President Donald Trump's first administration, imposing its own “maximum pressure” sanctions regime. The Biden administration subsequently issued sanctions immunity and messed around with the idea of returning to nuclear deals with Iran, but those efforts eventually waned.
Tenney urged European countries to invoke snapback sanctions before the deal expires in October 2025.
“The call to snapback sanctions will restore all UN sanctions against Iran that have been lifted by the Obama administration's failed Iranian nuclear deal,” she said.
Iran is “dramatically” accelerating the enrichment of uranium, below 90% required for nuclear weapons, to a purity of up to 60%, according to the United Nations nuclear watchdog Rafael Grossi. The Western Province says there is no private use for 60% of uranium.

The UK, France and Germany told the UN Security Council in December that they were ready to cause a snapback of all international sanctions on Iran if necessary.
Trump himself said he was “torn apart” against the recent executive order that caused severe sanctions on Iran's oil sector, adding that he was “unfortunate to do that.”
“Hopefully we'll have to use it much,” Trump told reporters.
However, he repeatedly said, “I will not try to get nuclear weapons.”
Trump first proposed attempting a “verified nuclear peace agreement” over military escalation. “I want to do a deal that I don't intend to hurt them,” the president told Fox News on Monday, adding, “I want to do a deal with them, not bomb them.”
“Negotiating with the US will not solve the problem,” Iranian Ayatollah Ali Kameni said, citing past “experiences.”
Iran saw the president's remarks as a threat and was negotiated by the table.

“We can't be satisfied,” Khamenei said. “Please say we have set a limit on the accuracy of missiles previously, but now we feel that this limit is no longer sufficient. We need to move forward.”
“Today, our defenses are well known. Our enemies fear this, which is very important to our country,” he said.
