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.”

Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez has strongly condemned the recent UN Security Council vote on snapback sanctions against Iran. In his post on X (formerly Twitter), Rodríguez rejected the decision, saying it undermines Iran’s sovereign right to peacefully pursue its nuclear program and further erodes stability in the Middle East.

The Russian Foreign Ministry issued a strongly worded statement on Saturday, denouncing the latest UN Security Council vote on the reimposition of sanctions on Iran, arguing that the move had “nothing to do with diplomacy” and calling for firm resistance against what it described as Western and U.S. “dictatorship and pseudo-legal nihilism” in international affairs.

China and Russia hold the ability to obstruct the enforcement of UN sanctions on Iran even if the “snapback” mechanism is formally triggered, according to international lawyer and foreign policy analyst Reza Nasri.
