Sec. Pompeo:
-Virtually all UN sanctions returned on #Iran, the leading state sponsor of terrorism, including permanent extension of UN arms embargo
-We won't hesitate to enforce our sanctions & we expect all UN members to fully comply w/ obligations under re-imposed restrictions
Press TV is citing @JZarif saying #Iran will insist on purchasing arms from Russia & China.

Note
“If UN Member States fail to fulfill their obligations to implement these sanctions, the US is prepared to use our domestic authorities to impose consequences for those failures & ensure that Iran does not reap the benefits of UN-prohibited activity.”

Reminder for @JosepBorrellF
UN Security Council Resolution 2231 clearly describes the U.S. as one of the “JCPOA participants.”
He pledges to do "everything possible" knowing nothing is possible, just as we saw Europe complying with U.S. sanctioning #Iran's oil exports.
Important segments of the U.S. press release
"History shows appeasement only emboldens such regimes."
"In the coming days, the US will announce a range of additional measures to strengthen implementation of UN sanctions and hold violators accountable."

"The White House plans to issue an executive order on Monday spelling out how the US will enforce the restored sanctions, and the State and Treasury departments are expected to outline how foreign individuals & businesses will be penalized for violations."

Indeed!
The genocidal regime ruling #Iran can always count on appeasement from Europe's governments & the EU.
