FILE - In this Aug. 20, 2020 file photo Secretary of State Mike Pompeo departs a meeting with members of the U.N. Security Council about Iran's alleged non-compliance with a nuclear deal at the United Nation in New York.
The administration said that its triggering of the “snapback” mechanism in the U.N. Security Council resolution that enshrined the 2015 Iran nuclear deal had taken effect at 8 p.m. Eastern Time. That is 30 days after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo notified the council that Iran was in “significant non-performance” with its obligations under the accord, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA.
“The United States expects all U.N, member states to fully comply with their obligations to implement these measures,” Pompeo said. “If U.N, member states fail to fulfill their obligations to implement these sanctions, the United States is prepared to use our domestic authorities to impose consequences for those failures and ensure that Iran does not reap the benefits of U.N.-prohibited activity.”
China and Russia have been particularly adamant in rejecting the U.S. position, but U.S. allies have not been shy either. In a letter sent Friday to the president of the Security Council, Britain, France and Germany — the three European participants who remain committed to the deal — said the U.S. announcement “is incapable of having legal effect and so cannot bring in to effect the procedure.”
In the midst of a heated campaign for reelection, Trump plans to address Iran in a speech to the General Assembly’s annual high-level meeting on Tuesday. Officials say he will also touch on his brokering of agreements for Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain to normalize relations in part to solidify a regional bulwark against Iran.
Amid uncertainty over that, the other 14 members of the Security Council and all but about five of the U.N.’s 195 member states say the U.S. lost its legal standing to act on sanctions when Trump withdrew from the nuclear accord more than two years ago.
Says whom? You're like spoilt kids screaming for attention. The world no longer dance to your tune.
Sanctions are genocidal acts of war
4aPeoplesParty That doesn't make sense, if the UN sanctioned it then isn't that the world leaders ? So how then does that equate as rest of the world rejecting as illegal sanctions?
Fuck the Trump Administration. VoteThemAllOut2020
Well that’s illegal, also an act of war.
RadioFreeTom So let me get this straight. Trump has put Iran in the same place it was when Obama left office. So all that sturm and drang was for?
Rezamossavi By the grace of God we can’t let anything get in the way of the right of Iranians to freedom and democracy.
Answer from the rest of the world to Mike Pompeo: 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
Gangstérisme
That Probably will stop europe from selling Iran weapons not sure about Russia or china who have been obeying U.N. sanctions and currently have a defense arrangement with Iran.
peace in the middle east tho amirite guys
As usual, Trump flails around like a big fucking baby.
4aPeoplesParty Desperation intensifies for a criminal empire looking to blame anyone but themselves
4aPeoplesParty So, why doesn't the rest of the world get together and impose sanctions on the US Empire? The world needs to stop living in fear of them.
4aPeoplesParty Dear Americans, VoteBidenHarris2020 VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare VoteBlue Vote I don’t care if a potato wins. Anything is better than Trump. -kthx, byyyyyyyye
4aPeoplesParty Pompeo is as deeply dirty and cynical as the CIA taught him to be, and his religion taught him to pretend that he isn't.
Time to kick US out of UN
RadioFreeTom Why do republicans love to spit burp and fart all over their American flag apparel?
Europe expect a massive migration due to your ally sanctions on Iran
Trump doesn't care about the legality of anything.
NoahCRothman It’s viscerally painful to listen to super-smart, informed commentators prop the notion that a lifelong con man who encourages right wing vigilantism ought to be considered the law and order candidate. AbeGreenwald jpodhoretz Commentary
AP needs to correct its headline. UN has dismissed this and its not even UN sanctions. Its US being a sore loser.
Put the knee of HUMANITY and FREEDOM on the NECK of Mullahs and NEVER REMOVE IT.
RadioFreeTom Trump Kushner Pompeo are forming an Arab 'nato.' Promising honey and bullets to stand against Iran.
RadioFreeTom Whatever Bibi wants.
America is the big terrorist country
BresPolitico America First Equals America Alone, Thank you Donald Trump. 🤯🤬
Tom_Fowdy Is that a part of a bikini?
Pompeo is an idiot.
'Why won't you give in to our murderous criminality? We are the good guys.' The elite may deserve a good spanking to stop their murderous misadventures.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 UN said that its not their sanctions. US just acting like a rogue state and not a normal one. We all stand Iran vivaIran
ishaantharoor Iranians are also human beings.
Then why did the UN create them?
It's time for the world to sanction U.S for it's threats.
Where are diplomacy and dialogue? In the US🇺🇸 Iran🇮🇷have been punish, for honour it's part in the nuclear agreement, that the🇺🇸US broke in abrupt terms.
Trump left the agreement in 2018 . Useless orange bully.
This zionist Pompeo is an Israeli agent I am sure Your Jesus is not coming stop appealing to Israel
US has isolated itself.
wsternks At least Trump has secured what he really wanted from this. A Trump Tower in Dubai!

LauraDiBella15 THE WORLD DOES NOT GIVE A SHIT WHAT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SAYS.
fake news
UROCKlive1 These people doesn’t know what the heck they’re doing.
RadioFreeTom
UROCKlive1 Since when does the U.S. just decide for the U.N.? So tired of these power grabs.
RadioFreeTom these clowns have made us a laughingstock to the world. we have never been so weak in my entire lifetime. embarrassing.
The US believes that the world is made up of the US and non-US countries.
So, the rest of the world rejects its own sanctions?
I am sick of the POTUS dangling these carrots only during an election. He cares nothing about this stuff because he has no guiding principles (which is why the GOP loves him). Tomorrow it could all change. And I’m including pro-life issues, Evangelicals. He cares not.
Again, Republicans don’t care about people calling them liars, hypocrites or illegal. They only worry about, does it fit their narrative?
RadioFreeTom More unfortunate proof of the wisdom of the Scriptures by the Trump administration. 'A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.' ~James 1:8
TheBuffaloNews Don’t care what the rest of the world says
RobManess The world isn't looking out for the interests of the US and values money over global safety.
America is the true rogue country!
RobManess How about our dead military personnel Iran funding of terrorism caused.
He better start packing his bags soon he is going back to Kansas SecPompeo
They are all CROOKS!
I always though that the face masks of the Trump administration should be red, white and blue with dollar signs.
normative
RadioFreeTom Restore the Recovery. Take back what’s been lost
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. US hypocrites.
It’s in no way illegal! This is a distorted and misleading title for AP to tweet! SnapBack long overdue! IranSanctions UNSC
Iran people aren't evil but their government is. Trump2020Landslide
NoahCRothman It worked so well in the past,
RadioFreeTom This really isn’t okay. They’ve destroyed progress. Plus, they flippantly use these sanctions that create so much suffering. Normal people in Iran are suffering in ways that weren’t necessary. Sanctions should be used intelligently.
Can’t disagree with Trump admin on this at all.
The world is laughing at the Republic of Trumpistan. And with darn good reasons.
Now that’s what I call “swagger”!
Serious question, can the UN kick the US out, if enough countries bring a resolution? Under Trump, the US had exited every international organization it was part of and violated every agreement it had signed at one point or another and contributes to more problems than solutions.
Choke the mullahs out😘
US has been a force for war, an end to it’s hegemony will be beneficial for world peace!
You cannot impose UN sanctions because the US is no longer a part of the Iranian deal. Who would have thought that pulling out of the deal was a bad bad idea?
You know, you don’t have to editorialize everything you tweet, what are you 21? 22? You’re the reason America hates Journalists. There’s nothing wrong with just reporting the facts and not give your opinion on how the rest of the world feels
Irán not getting certain weapons is good for the entire world!
But it’s not and they can suck it.
I am NavidAfkari, I was protesting against the regime because Islamic Republic do not follow the basic human rights and they killed me. change_Islamic_republic_Iran
GunsnSandwitchs Good news
why ap lies? rest of the world? shame on you.
if we have to stand alone to do what’s right, we’ll stand alone. Obama may have had a hard-on for the mullahs, but Trump doesn’t—THANK GOODNESS.
I guess end of the day, we’ll see if rest of the world would prefer to do business with the United States or the biggest state sponsor of terrorism, Iran! realDonaldTrump SenTedCruz LeeSmithDC GiulioTerzi omriceren
Illegal? LOLLLLLL.
lol, what good is that going to do if no other nation will back you up and impose the sanctions... specially since trumptard has greatly damaged key alliances all over the flocking world.
The AP is anti-American.
And you wonder why refugees are heading to our countries for a better life.
NoahCRothman Good. They executed a man that they tortured just last week. Happy to be alone in condemning them. It's an evil regime and calling it anything else is blinkered.
Fake news
That's a great way to honor the flag: wearing it on your face while you cough and sneeze on it
This is true ignorance. We remove ourself from a deal, but now we want to implement the penalties of the deal we left and want others to follow suit? To make matters worse, we did even propose a modified deal. We just left! Good luck. We are just a laughable stock.
The US withdrew from the accord and now is saying Iran has not lived up to the accord? Classic American supremacy.
Lmao people hate trump so bad they’re making excuses for our sworn enemies
Rest of the world can kiss our ass.
The world is laughing at us
It’s called the “golden rule.” He who has the gold makes the rules.
Dumb people don't notice or care. They just want someone to tell them what they want to hear no more no less.
A man convinced against his will, is of the same opinion still.
Sorry this happened to you.
Iran and Saudis are enemies, right ?
you mean by most anyone not affected by Iran terrorism or drug bussiness which means anyone not in ME
Too bad so sad
What rest of world? What a complete and total false, fake report. You should retract immediately. The fact is most 90% of foreign countries support this move.
Yay!
That’s why America don’t give af. How many times do we need to save Europe?
Why don’t we sanction China instead since you know they are enslaving Muslims and we are banning all their stuff here in the us
Trump have to look after America and Americans first, the rest of the world will take care of their own also, so why the hype?
Iran: getting left out 😂😂😂😩
Yes start a war to win votes that will work...
Guess what else is “illegal”? State sponsored TERRORISM
NoahCRothman The rest of the world can suck it
GOOD
Do you read history Pompeo? They had the most severe sanctions against them in 1979? They then went on to fight a brutal war against Iraq. Do you think your stupid sanctions mean anything?
I am not a big fan of Iran, but the people of Iran are not evil even if their leaders are ( we should be able to relate ). Why do we keep driving wedges between us instead of trying to peacefully co exist ?
Illegal? The US is SOVEREIGN.
I’m thinking the UN should start imposing sanctions on the US. It’s not like they haven’t committed crimes all over the world for a century or more.
Iran held up their end. They were denuclearizing until this racist bigot came along. Trump should be immediately prosecuted once he's thrown out.
Love it!
Holy SHIT AP that is propaganda as FUCK Iran just tortured to death a 27-year-old professional athlete for voicing an opinion against the government. Then they hung his body. They hang homosexuals like Nero did Christians. Fuck the Aytolla
Now it's time to Sanction the UN too... So Say's the Bosslady
Then it’s probably a good thing 👍
Trump: An America-alone president. He's diminished our standing in the world, embarrassed us. We are pitied. He is despised.
I would love to believe this but the AP is FakeNews
GOP and trump - dividing America and the World together. With a pinch of hate, fear and lies.
Sanctions do not affect the Iranian government, affect the poor people.
Hail to the chief! Stop the BS! Vote Trump, vote red
We just make shit up now and dare anyone to say differently
Did Iran write this article?
Iran’s actions are illegal, but they don’t care. John Kerry meeting with them was illegal, but they don’t care.
Who is “most of the rest of the world?” Iran China Russia and Venezuela?
We left the treaty. How the fuck do we have a say
CZAR Trumpski the FAKE needed a DEFLECTION from NEWS Cycle this means nothing
They walked away from the deal. Now they want its sanctions imposed. What a joke.
I guess there isnt plane loads of cash being sent to the biggest terrorist state in the world anymore.
And exactly how do they think that works? Now they are not only dictators of the US but the rest of the world too?
As Republicans destroy our democracy
Omo
a move that the Media rejects as illegal
ASSOCIATED CRAP
He’s setting up for a false flag. Don’t say you weren’t warned.
Good...Iran sucks
All this winning is painful to watch
We need The Hague to step in
