Iran says its arch-foe US has been 'isolated' by world powers after Washington unilaterally declared that UN sanctions against Tehran were back in force
Iran has said its arch-foe the US has been "isolated" after its unilateral declaration that UN sanctions are back in force against Tehran was dismissed by other major powers.
But US President Donald Trump withdrew from the JCPOA in 2018, saying the deal – negotiated by his predecessor Barack Obama – was insufficient. He also renewed and even strengthened Washington's own sanctions. "If UN member states fail to fulfill their obligations to implement these sanctions, the United States is prepared to use our domestic authorities to impose consequences for those failures and ensure that Iran does not reap the benefits of UN-prohibited activity," he stated.
The Trump administration, however, is acting as if the international sanctions are in place, while the rest of the international community continues to act as if nothing has changed.
