Paris/United Nations (Reuters)-United Kingdom, France and Germany have launched a 30-day lawsuit to repay the United Nations’s sanctions on Iran because of their nuclear program on Thursday, a step that will probably increase tensions two months after Israel and United States bombarded Iran, according to a letter sent by E3 to the UN Security Council for Reuters.
The trio, known as E3, reported in a statement that he had decided to trigger the so -called snapback mechanism before losing capacity in mid -October of restoring the Sanctions against Tehran that were suspended under a nuclear agreement of 2015 with the world powers.
They have carried out several rounds of negotiations with Iran since Israel and the United States attacked Iranian nuclear facilities in mid-June, with the aim of setting up the mechanism, but considered that the negotiations in Geneva on Tuesday did not produce sufficiently tangible commitments from Iran.

E3 has now pressured the accusations that Iran violated the 2015 agreement that aimed to prevent Tehran from developing a nuclear weapon. The United States, which were part of this agreement, left the pact under the command of then -President Donald Trump in 2018 and made failed indirect negotiations earlier this year with Tehran.
The E3, whose ministers reported US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, from his decision on Wednesday, said he expects Iran to commit until the end of September to provide commitments about their nuclear program that convince them to postpone concrete actions.
“E3 is committed to using all the diplomatic tools available to ensure that Iran never develops a nuclear weapon. This includes our decision to trigger the ‘snapback’ mechanism today through this notification,” they said in the letter.

“E3’s commitment to a diplomatic solution, however, remains unshakable. E3 will make a total use of the 30 -day period after notification to resolve the issue that gave rise to the notification.”
Iran had previously warned of a “hard answer” if the sanctions were restored.
The UN process takes 30 days for sanctions that would cover the financial, banking, hydrocarbon and defense sectors of Iran.
