联合国安理会未能通过继续解除对伊朗制裁的决议草案

Core Points - The UN Security Council failed to pass a resolution to continue lifting sanctions on Iran, with the proposal not receiving the required nine votes for approval [1] - The resolution was proposed by South Korea, the rotating president of the Security Council for September, and received support from China, Russia, Pakistan, and Algeria, while the US, UK, and France opposed it [1] - If passed, the resolution would have continued to lift sanctions based on the 2015 Iran nuclear deal and relevant Security Council Resolution 2231 [1] - The UK, France, and Germany initiated a "snapback" mechanism on August 28, citing Iran's violations of the nuclear deal, which would restore sanctions if no resolution is passed within 30 days [1] - The legality of the "snapback" mechanism is questioned, as it bypassed the required "dispute resolution mechanism" outlined in the nuclear deal and Resolution 2231 [1] - Iran has expressed opposition to the "snapback" mechanism and reached an agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency on September 9 regarding the restoration of verification activities in Iran [1] Diplomatic Developments - Iran, along with the UK, France, Germany, and other relevant countries, has approximately one week to engage in diplomatic discussions to prevent the restoration of sanctions [2]
