In the Iran’s parliament, a bill provides for the country’s exit from the contract on non -proliferation of nuclear weapons (day) if European countries activate the “Snapback Return Mechanism”, which allows the UN measures against Tehran. This was announced by the official representative of the National Security and Foreign Policy of the Iranian Majlis Ibrahim Rezai.
According to him, at a meeting of the parliament, the possible consequences of activating the mechanism were considered, and most members of the commission supported the idea to prepare the law that obliges the government to get out of the day in the event of its launch. Rezai noted that the document is under development and is discussed at the level of the profile commission.
The Iranian nuclear program was signed on July 14, 2015 between Tehran and the Six (five permanent members of the UN and Germany Security Council). In exchange for the lifting of sanctions, Iran obliged to limit his nuclear developments. However, in 2018, the United States unilaterally left the agreement and resumed sanctions against Tehran. Despite the criticism of Washington from the European participants in the transaction, there were no specific steps to compensate for the damage to Iran.
since 2019, Tehran began to phasedly abandon his obligations by agreement and resumed the enrichment of uranium to high levels.
, in the meantime, the European participants in the UK, France and Germany (E3) are threatened To use the Snapback mechanism provided for by the agreement with the aim of re -introducing UN sanctions against Iran for alleged violations of the transaction terms. The validity of this mechanism expires on October 18.
earlier, on July 25, negotiations between Iran and E3 representatives at the level of deputy ministers of foreign affairs were held in Istanbul. The parties agreed to continue the consultations.
The Iranian authorities previously stated that if the UN sanctions are restored, the country will revise its participation in the day, of which it has been a member since 1970.
