US Senator calls for UN sanctions snapback on Iran after IAEA resolution

A top US Senator on Thursday said a resolution against Iran at the International Atomic Energy Agency meant it was time to trigger the so-called snapback of United Nations sanctions on Tehran.

"@IAEAorg’s findings prove the importance of @POTUS’s push for total dismantlement of Iran’s nuclear program," Senator Jim Risch wrote on X.

"The evidence is clear that Iran has violated its nuclear commitments and has no peaceful use for its current stockpiles. Time to trigger snapback sanctions," the Idaho Republican who serves as the Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman added.
