European troika snub US attempt to Snapback Iran Sanctions

On Thursday night, the former supports of the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany turned their back to the US move to snapback sanctions against Iran, describing the action as irreconcilable with efforts to support the Iran nuclear deal.

The trio announced their position in a statement and responded to an illegal US push to rekindle the mechanism in the nuclear deal that would restore all of the US sanctions against the Islamic Republic.

The nuclear deal (JCPOA) was made between the Islamic Republic and the P5+1 group of states- the US, the UK, France, Russia, and China plus Germany -in Vienna in July 2015.

The US left JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) in May 2018. The move violated UN Security Council Resolution 2231 that endorses the JCPOA.

From then on US falsely claims that it is still a member of JCPOA in Resolution 2231 in order to be able to continue its attack on the deal.
