Both U.S. allies and adversaries have claimed that, because the U.S. left the deal, it has no legal basis to invoke snapback. But the U.S. argues that while it left the deal, it still retains rights under Resolution 2231. The move sets a 30-day countdown until the sanctions are re-imposed.
INTERNATIONAL NUCLEAR WATCHDOG PUTS PRESSURE ON IRAN TO COOPERATE, 'IMMEDIATELY COMPLY' WITH SAFEGUARDS At the U.N. on Friday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo cited the difficulties the IAEA is having in getting Iran to give it access. “This is happening, of course, at a moment when Iran is refusing to allow the IAEA to inspect sites suspected of undeclared nuclear activity, that were formerly part of Iran’s nuclear weapons program,” he said.He also took direct aim at the United Kingdom, France and Germany for not supporting the extension, while accusing them of privately telling him they didn’t want the embargo lifted.
“And yet today, in the end, they provided no alternatives, no options. No country but the United States has had the courage and conviction to put forward a resolution,” he said. “Instead they chose to side with the ayatollahs. Their actions endangered the people of Iraq, of Yemen, of Lebanon, of Syria and indeed their own citizens as well.”Adam Shaw is a reporter covering U.S. and European politics for Fox News..

Explainer: What is the U.S. threat to trigger 'snapback' of U.N. sanctions on Iran?U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is expected on Thursday to trigger a process aimed at restoring all U.N. sanctions on Iran after the U.N. Security Council rejected a U.S. bid to extend a conventional arms embargo on the country. PRO TIP: anyone following Reuters on Twatter is probably quick clued-in with what's going on with geo-politics - and is very unlikely to need an 'Explainer'. Sanctions will not affect the Iranian government. They will affect the Iranian people, especially the poor. I hope these punishments are rejected and that the blond man cares about his failure
