As the United States prepares to initiate snapback sanctions against Iran, a mechanism within the nuclear deal that Washington withdrew from, Iranian officials have been dismissing the attempts.

Iran’s Ambassador to the United Nations Majid Takht-Ravanchi tweeted today, “The US shouldn’t try its luck. It’ll only be humiliated again.” Ravanchi’s reference to the United States being "humiliated again” speaks to last week when the Donald Trump administration attempted to extend the arms embargo on Iran through the United Nations Security Council and failed with a vote of 2-11.
