Iran warned on Monday that it would take revenge if the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) would take steps to impose “Snapback” sanctions while Nations are approaching further action to stop the nuclear development of Tehran.
“The threat to use the Snapback mechanism, lacks legal and political basis and will be a suitable and proportional response from the Islamic Republic of Iran,” said spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs during a press conference, according to a report from Reuters.
Baghaei did not expand about how Iran would take revenge, but his threats come to be the time of repeated warnings from security experts that there is time to maintain the sanction mechanism by the Nuclear Deal 2015 dictated by 18 October.

The comments coincided with the 10-year anniversary of the joint extensive action plan (JCPOA), which was originally intended to stop Iran’s nuclear ambitions, but some of which claimed to be insufficient to detect Tehran adequately.
According to the terms and conditions of the JCPOA, every signer can unilaterally call Snapback Sanctions if Iran has violated the conditions of the agreement.
Although the US, who, in addition to the VK, France, Germany, China and Russia, signed the 2015 deal, was considered by the UN and other JCPOA members who could not use the mechanism after Washington withdrew in 2018 during the first term of President Donald Trump.
Despite repeated calls from the US to enforce Snapback -all 15 UN members in the Council, including Russia, would legally enforce sanctions against Iran -no one has taken steps on the UN -VN Safety Council or JCPOA to force the sanctions.
“I think it’s a valuable move, but we have to be honest – it’s a risky move,” he added.
BEN TALEBLU explained that Iran’s most likely reaction to the serious sanctions under the Snapback Mechanism would be leaving the treaty about the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons (NPT)-an international agreement that have signed more than 190 nations, not to carry out weapons by nuclear-capable nations, non-nuclear national nations.

The time is to prevent Iran making nuclear bomb: ‘Dangerous Territory’
The conditions of the agreement are followed by the UN International Atomic Energy – which Iran has already suspended with following the US and Israeli strikes against his nuclear program last month.
“In a world where Iran’s most likely reaction is to leave the NPT, one must have faith in the ability of military threats to further scare Iran, or at least the credibility of the American and Israel’s, or the international community, military options to Iran,” Ben Taleblu said.
“The problem is the lack of a game plan. Has America Europe given a game plan, a route map for post-snapback?” He added and noted that there must be a much larger strategy for the following steps as sanctions should be strengthened.
Although the US assesses that Iran’s nuclear program has been impeded to two years, experts remain convinced that the Tehran atomic ambitions are not deterred and that the ties with terrorist networks and opponents mean that it remains a highest safety problems.
Trump has said that he is still dedicated to negotiate with Iran about his nuclear program, although there are questions how long he will continue to drag negotiations before a European nation such as the UK, France or Germany must intervene to carry out Snapback sanctions, not only before the Deadline of October, but before Russia.
By pushing the Snapback mechanism, it is expected that a process of approximately six weeks is expected.
