Sec. Pompeo insists that the U.S. has the legal right to “snap back” UN sanctions even though President Trump pulled out of the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and six major powers that was endorsed by the UN Security Council.

He accused them of privately agreeing with the U.S. but lacking courage to say so publicly and proposing “no alternatives.”

Under the terms of the Security Council resolution that enshrined the nuclear deal, Thursday’s notification starts a 30-day clock after which pre-2015 U.N. sanctions on Iran that were eased will be re-imposed unless a resolution specifically extending their suspension is passed. The U.S., however, would use its veto power to block any resolution extending the sanctions relief.

Diplomats said the likely outcome of the council president’s consultations is that the majority of members inform him that the U.S. is not legally entitled to invoke “snap back,” and therefore they consider that “snap back” has not been triggered and the U.S. action will have no effect. Russia then asked for an open council meeting Friday to discuss implementation of resolution 2231 endorsing the nuclear deal, which the Trump administration rejected.

Pompeo is like that divorced blowhard, who left his wife but crows loudly about how she's not allowed to live her life, even though it's been three years since he left.

Do you need further proof of the impetuous Boy-King, who aft withdrawal, tries to be the Pope directing coital positions.. - Pompeo insists US has legal right to “snap back” UN sanctions viz. Iran. Allies unreceptive aft Trump pulled out of nuclear deal

This really illustrates that the initial move to leave the agreement was a purely political, shortsighted, disaster for U.S. foreign policy.

Incompetent dangerous fools...Trumpists

I am not the first to say this, attribution if anyone knows: The Kansas Koch bros crew has been a corrupt, not so smart mess: Kobach, Parscale&Pompeo.

Give Iran free nuclear ICBM's with built in technology to self destruct if aimed at any US territory or allie .

Worst man to hold the post so far,he should throw in white towel. He’s trying to put up a show “US against the world “ that will make Trump like tougher,and American like it.

'Yeah, I divorced her four years ago but that doesn't mean I can't tell her what to do.'

Paging wendyrsherman BasketOfDeplorables

Vote which one is your choice, of coz don’t do the wrong one. Maybe this is ur last time. CCP is ready, they are just waiting to see, y they have time to wait? Coz westerners give it lots of time, n now is still giving.

Yup thanks to trump and his notorious deal making! We are truly alone.

Why lead with Pompeo's lie? Report the facts.

It’s like we have ignorant children in charge of our government. You can’t claim the Iran deal was horrible, pull out, not put anything in place to replace it, then get to use parts of the deal that was horrible and you pulled out of.

Sorry it don’t work like gave up your right when you quit.😂
