Iran: Pompeo, ‘UN sanctions in force’ – Last minute



[ad_1]

(ANSA) – NEW YORK, SEPTEMBER 20 – The UN sanctions against Iran are back in effect today, according to US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who underscores how the United States expects all member states of the UN respect the commitment to apply them. The response of Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif is ready, saying that the imminent restoration of UN sanctions against Iran is a “false statement” by Washington. “There is nothing called ‘snapback’ – he insisted -. There is no automatism.” “Pompeo thinks it is a simple mechanism, but it is not,” Zarif said, accusing the US secretary of state of not having read the UN Security Council resolutions and the text of the nuclear deal.
