Abbas Moghtadaei, deputy head of Iran’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, dismissed the UN snapback process as a “media and psychological tool” with no real economic impact.
“Almost every kind of sanction possible has already been imposed,” he said on Friday at a provincial meeting in Isfahan. “Snapback adds nothing new.”
Moghtadaei accused Western governments of using the mechanism for political messaging, while Iran, he said, has consistently met its obligations. “The Iranian people have shown they can withstand propaganda and external pressure,” he added.
