Uganda’s foreign minister has denounced the “instrumental use” of the UN Security Council to pressure Iran, after the 15-member body voted to reinstate sweeping “snapback” sanctions on the Islamic Republic.

Iran says efforts at reviving the UN Security Council’s sanctions against Iran are “null and void” and carry no legal force.

The United States and its allies veto a draft resolution aimed at delaying “snapback” of the UN Security Council’s sanctions against Iran.

Iran has condemned as “unlawful, unjustified and provocative” the European attempt to restore United Nations sanctions under the so-called snapback mechanism.

The Iranian foreign minister slams Europe’s illegal move to trigger the snapback mechanism and is steadfast in defending its legitimate rights.
