Russia rejects US plan to restore UN sanctions on Iran

Reuters - Russia rejected U.S. plans to restore U.N. sanctions on Iran as nonexistent, saying only a country that remains in the 2015 Iran nuclear deal can trigger the return of the sanctions in a process known informally as snapback.

We will not take it as snapback, Russian U.N. Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia told reporters, rejecting U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeos expected announcement.

Hes not triggering a snapback. Snapback can be triggered by a country that is a participant of the JCPOA, which the U.S. is not, he said, referring to the Iran nuclear deal by its formal name, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
