Shafaq News/ TheTrump administration has signaled its readiness to activate the"Snapback" mechanism at the United Nations Security Council, aimingto reimpose sanctions on Iran for alleged violations of its nuclearcommitments.
Elise Stefanik, nominated as the USambassador to the United Nations, affirmed her commitment to advancingPresident Trump’s agenda in international forums.
During a Senate Foreign RelationsCommittee hearing, Stefanik described Iran as “the most significant threat toglobal peace,” expressing support for Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s proposalto invoke the “Snapback” mechanism, aiming to reimpose international sanctionson Tehran.
Notably, the “Snapback”mechanism, introduced in the 2015 Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA), was designed toensure Iran’s compliance with the agreement. It allows any participant state tonotify the UN Security Council of a significant breach, triggering a 30-dayperiod for deliberations. If no resolution is adopted or if it is vetoed, theprevious UN sanctions are automatically reinstated.
The mechanism, set to expire in October2025, has been a subject of contention. Supporters argue it serves as adeterrent against violations, while critics highlight its potential forescalating diplomatic tensions.
The US previously invoked the"Snapback" in 2020 after withdrawing from the JCPOA in 2018, sparkingdebates over its legal standing to do so. The Trump administration hadcriticized the deal for failing to address Iran’s ballistic missile program andregional influence. Following its withdrawal, the US reinstated sweepingsanctions on Iran’s economy, including its oil and banking sectors, under a “maximumpressure” campaign.
Sanctions on Iran date back to 1979,following the US Embassy hostage crisis, and have since expanded in response toIran’s designation as a state sponsor of "terrorism" and concerns over itsnuclear ambitions.
While the JCPOA initially provided Iranwith sanctions relief in exchange for nuclear restrictions, US withdrawal andsubsequent sanctions reignited tensions.
