Iranian officials have called the unilateral effort by the United States to implement snapback sanctions on Iran another failed attempt to enforce their will.

President Hassan Rouhani said Sept. 20 the United States has been trying to once again place sanctions on Iran and has even increased its pressure in the last few months on other countries party to the Iran nuclear deal, yet it has now reached “the final point of failure.” Rouhani said the United States has met failure every step of the way — even amongst “traditional allies” — and was not even able to stop the sanctions on arms from being lifted.
