Iran's Rouhani Vows "Crushing Response" After Pompeo Declares Restoration Of All Sanct

But as even America's European allies point out, Washington is attempting to uphold 'snapback' sanctions based on a deal it pulled out of in May 2018. Undeterred, Pompeo announced the re-implementation of "virtually all previously terminated UN sanctions on the Islamic Republic of Iran."

"The United States took this decisive action because, in addition to Iran's failure to perform its JCPOA commitments, the Security Council failed to extend the UN arms embargo on Iran, which had been in place for 13 years," Pompeo's statement asserted.

"The Security Council's inaction would have paved the way for Iran to buy all manner of conventional weapons on Oct. 18. Fortunately for the world, the United States took responsible action to stop this from happening. In accordance with our rights under UNSCR 2231, we initiated the snapback process to restore virtually all previously terminated UN sanctions, including the arms embargo. The world will be safer as a result," it continued.
