United Nations Security Council to Hold Nuclear Sanctions Vote Against Iran This Friday
Iran-Israel tensions have remained high since the 12-day war between the two countries in June. This conflict has had significant consequences for the nuclear negotiations between Iran and the United States.
Following the US withdrawal in 2018, during Donald Trump's presidency, Iran gradually broke away from its commitments under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and increased its nuclear activities. As a result, the IAEA inspectors have left Iran after Iran suspended cooperation with the IAEA.
A letter to the UN, penned by Germany, France, and the United Kingdom, accused Iran of breaching several JCPOA commitments. One of the breaches mentioned involved Iran building a uranium stock more than 40 times the permitted level under the deal.
The nuclear activities of Iran have been ongoing since it broke away from its commitments under the JCPOA. The three European countries, in August 2021, used a letter to the United Nations to highlight Iran's violations of multiple commitments under the 2015 JCPOA.
The 12-day war between Iran and Israel in June derailed nuclear negotiations between Iran and the United States. Now, a resolution is expected at the United Nations (UN) that may not have the necessary nine votes to uphold the status quo, which keeps sanctions lifted. If the resolution fails, measures will be reimposed.
The JCPOA is a treaty aimed at preventing Tehran from obtaining nuclear weapons. The UN meeting is scheduled for Friday at 10 am (1400 GMT). The outcome of this meeting could have far-reaching implications for the future of nuclear non-proliferation efforts in the region.
