Trump/Pompeo (and US) rejected on snap back of sanctions on Iran

Last edited Fri Aug 21, 2020, 11:03 PM - Edit history (1)

Think about this--because of Trump's stupidity in withdrawing from Iran nuclear deal, all of the nations including our allies were able to ignore the ravings of Pompeo and say "pound sand--your opinion no longer matters, welcher".

"The Trump administration was left isolated on the world stage as foreign allies and competitors alike rejected its demand to restore UN sanctions on Iran Thursday.

Despite President Donald Trump's decision to pull the US out of the Iran nuclear deal in 2018, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Thursday that the US has "every capacity" under United Nations Security Council Resolution 2231, which enshrined the international agreement, to trigger so-called snapback sanctions, because the US was initially a party to the deal."
