: Iran’s Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the UN Amir Saeed Iravani has warned that any threats to invoke the so-called “snapback” of sanctions against Iran, as part of a 2015 nuclear deal signed between the country and world powers, are counterproductive and will provoke a firm response from Iran.

ran warns of firm response if ‘snapback’ mechanism triggered
In a letter sent to UN Secretary-General António Guterres and President of the UN Security Council Linda Thomas-Greenfield said Iran remains unwavering in its commitment to its obligations under the NPT (Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty), which unequivocally guarantees the inalienable right of all States Parties to develop, research, produce, and use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, without discrimination and in full conformity with Articles I and II.
“Iran will never compromise its legitimate and inalienable rights under the Treaty,” he said, adding, “Consequently, any threats to invoke the so-called ‘snapback’ are counterproductive and will provoke a firm response from Iran. This position was explicitly conveyed by the then Iran’s President in a letter addressed to the leaders of the E3 on 8 May 2019.”Reporter : Editorial of The Iran Project
