World powers agree to UN mechanism to re-impose sanctions on Iran

Six world powers agreed on a UN mechanism that would restore sanctions on Iran if it breaks terms of a future nuclear deal, reports Reuters.

The US, UK, France, Germany, Russia and China agreed on a deal that allows any easing of UN sanctions to be automatically reversible if Iran breached any terms of the agreements it committed to.

Speaking to Reuters, a UN official said,

“We pretty much have a solid agreement between the six on the snapback mechanism, Russians and Chinese included. But now the Iranians need to agree.”
