UN Calls For Timely Action To Restore 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal As Tensions Rise | N18G

A top U.N. official, Rosemary DiCarlo, called on world powers and Iran to urgently restore the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which lifted sanctions on Iran in return for restrictions on its nuclear program. The U.S. withdrew from the deal in 2018 under President Donald Trump, prompting Iran to gradually reduce its commitments. European and Iranian diplomats met recently to explore ways to ease tensions, especially regarding Iran's nuclear activities, before Trump's potential return to the White House. DiCarlo emphasized the importance of timely action, as the Security Council had enshrined the deal in a 2015 resolution. Britain, France, and Germany warned they could trigger the "snap back" of international sanctions on Iran if necessary to prevent nuclear weapon development. However, this option expires on October 18 next year. The IAEA reported that Iran has been rapidly accelerating uranium enrichment to levels close to weapons-grade purity.
