US Demands Restoration of UN Sanctions Against Iran

The Trump administration on Thursday formally notified the United Nations of its demand for all U.N. sanctions on Iran to be restored, setting off an immediate confrontation with Russia and other Security Council members who called the U.S. move illegal.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo delivered the notification to the president of the U.N. Security Council, citing significant Iranian violations of the 2015 nuclear deal, a requirement to “snap back” U.N. sanctions.

Pompeo tweeted, “The United States is determined to make sure that the Iranian regime doesn’t have the capacity to inflict even more harm on the world.”
