On Friday morning, the UN Security Council failed to adopt a resolution that would have blocked the restoration of sanctions against Iran. If the international community fails to reach an agreement on this issue within the next ten days, sanctions will be reinstated on September 28.
The resolution proposing not to impose sanctions was supported by four delegations (Algeria, China, Pakistan and Russia), while nine countries (Denmark, France, Greece, Panama, Sierra Leone, Slovenia, Somalia, the United Kingdom and the United States) were against it, and two – Guyana and South Korea – abstained.
As a reminder, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action on Iran's nuclear program was adopted in 2015 following lengthy negotiations involving China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States, the European Union, and Iran itself. The Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 2231 (2015), endorsing the JCPOA.
The deal provided for restrictions on Iran's nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of previously imposed sanctions. The agreement included a so-called "rapid response mechanism" for sanctions should the parties deem Iran to be in default.
On August 28, the foreign ministers of three countries – France, Germany, and the United Kingdom – sent a letter to the Security Council notifying them of the activation of the "rapid response mechanism" provided for in the 2015 nuclear deal. Sanctions are then to be lifted within 30 days. Today's resolution, which the Security Council rejected, was an attempt to block this scenario.
