The reinstatement of the punitive measures pursued by the US government is not legally competent. Germany, Great Britain and France continue to oppose the dispute with the US over the UN sanctions against Iran.
The UN ambassadors of the three European countries emphasized in a letter to the President of the UN Security Council in New York that they do not see the USA in the legal position to trigger the so called snapback mechanism. A large part of the most powerful UN body shared this opinion.
The contract concluded with the Islamic Republic in 2015 should continue to be fully implemented. The nuclear deal should prevent Tehran from building an atomic bomb, while Iran should benefit from economic cooperation. The US unilaterally terminated the agreement in 2018.
Snapback is a possibility for the member states of the nuclear agreement to denounce Iranian rule violations before the Security Council. This means that all UN sanctions from the time before the agreement can be reinstated within 30 days without other members being able to prevent this with a veto. In their opinion, the USA did this in August, which is why they consider the snapback to be completed on the night of next Sunday.
