By Homayoun Barkhor | English Desk Editor & Foreign Policy Analyst, Borna News Agency: The failure of a U.N. Security Council draft to extend sanctions relief for Iran did not leave a vacuum. Instead, it accelerated confrontation. With that text blocked, Britain, France, and Germany have moved to trigger the “snapback” mechanism—a tool meant to automatically restore prior U.N. restrictions against Tehran. In Western capitals, snapback is framed as necessary pressure. Across the East and Global South, it is seen as coercion without consensus. Russia, China, Pakistan, Cuba, and others have already said openly they will not recognize its legitimacy.

Esmaeil Kowsari, a member of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, said in an exclusive interview with Borna that Iran is prepared to withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) if Western countries activate the so-called snapback mechanism, stressing that “it will ultimately be the Western powers who must chase after us, not the other way around.”
