  • Iran Gains Strong Backing in Nuclear Standoff with the West

    Iran, China, and Russia have joined forces to contest the recent re-implementation of UN sanctions against Iran, initiated by the UK, France, and Germany through a ‘snapback’ mechanism from the 2015 nuclear deal (JCPOA). They argue this action lacks legal basis, as outlined in a letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
