Iran has announced it will respond to the reimposition of United Nations sanctions if the snapback mechanism is triggered. The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Esmaeil Baqaei, stated that Tehran will take action against any renewed UN sanctions related to its nuclear program, although the specific nature of the response was not detailed. Iran described the snapback bid as an escalation and vowed a proportionate and appropriate reaction. Additionally, Iranian officials noted that no date has been set for nuclear talks with the United States. The European signatories of the 2015 nuclear deal are reportedly considering reinstating the sanctions under the snapback mechanism.
