United States
President, Donald Trump, has formally notified the United Nations that it wants
all sanctions on Iran restored, claiming significant Iranian violations of the
2015 nuclear deal in a move that drew swift rejections from countries that
remain part of the agreement, Reuters report.
US Secretary of
State, Mike Pompeo, delivered the notification to the President of the UN
Security Council on Thursday and later notified reporters on the right the US
had to reimpose sanctions under UN resolution 2231, which laid out the rules of
the deal between Iran and six world powers.
The US withdrew from
the accord in 2018.
Pompeo said,
"We think this is really straightforward, we think this is very simple.
"These UN
Security Council resolutions will come back into place 31 days from now, and the
United States will vigorously enforce them."
He stated that he
expected the other UN Security Council members to "comply with their
obligations".
