Iran hasn’t given up its aim of attaining a nuclear weapon, says Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, after the European signatories to the 2015 JCPOA nuclear deal announce they are starting the process of initiating the snapback sanctions against Iran.

Writing on X, he says the return of the sanctions is “inevitable.”

He calls the move by the E3 “an important step in the diplomatic campaign to counter the Iranian regime’s nuclear ambitions.”

Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon also welcomes the move, saying that the “countries of the world are… joining the fight against the axis of evil.”

“This is an important step on the way to stopping the Iranian nuclear program and increasing pressure on the regime in Tehran,” he adds.
