The European signatories to the 2015 nuclear deal cannot afford to trigger sanctions snapback because it is Iran's "redline" and would cause a collapse of the agreement and undermine security in Europe, a political analyst says.
"Referring Iran's nuclear dossier to the United Nations Security Council would spell the end of JCPOA, which would not serve Europe's security interests and will prevent them from exercising influence on regional and international developments," Morteza Maki also told IRNA in a recent interview.
US President Donald Trump last year pulled out of the nuclear accord between Iran and major powers, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, under which Tehran undertook to curb its nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of sanctions.
