Readers of this blog know the effects of the U.S. sanctions to date, how they have resulted in a gigantic economic squeeze on Iran and limited its available funds for terrorism and forced it to not be as robust in Syria as it would prefer.\u00a0 We would certainly prefer if the UN would recognize the same need in response to Iran not living up to its commitments under the JCPOA\u2014already the Europe-3 have called for consideration of these violations but put the consideration of such on hold.\u00a0 The UK, France, and Germany need to hold Iran accountable.\u00a0 And the UN itsel, UNSC Pres. Djani said Tuesday that the U.S. cannot snapback sanctions on Iran because that mechanism has not been triggered due to lack of UNSC member consensus.\u00a0 U.S. Amb. Craft then criticized most members for not agreeing the U.S. has snapback power, and said \u201cI only regret that other members of this council have lost their way, and now find themselves standing in the company of terrorists.\u201d\u00a0 See \u201cU.S. cannot ‘snapback’ sanctions on Iran, U.N.
