📣 Foreign Policy Analysis: Europe has played its last card against Iran, but the return of these sanctions is largely symbolic and unlikely to change Iran’s position Foreign Policy magazine, expressing doubt over the success of triggering the snapback mechanism, wrote: 🔸 The return of UN Security Council sanctions is mostly symbolic and cannot target Iran’s economy the way U.S. sanctions do. Although Russia and China cannot prevent the reimposition of these sanctions, they can disrupt their implementation. 🔸 The situation reached this point because Iran did not agree to Europe’s proposal last week. Under that proposal, in exchange for a six-month suspension of the return of sanctions, Iran would have had to grant IAEA inspectors unlimited access, disclose the location of its 400 kilograms of enriched uranium, and resume negotiations with the United States. 🔸 However, Israeli and U.S. attacks on Iran have reduced Tehran’s willingness to engage in such negotiations or grant access to IAEA inspectors. Nevertheless, the three European countries hope that by using their final pressure card and activating the snapback mechanism, they might change Iran’s position — though this appears unlikely. __________________________________ 📣 Beyond Headlines , Inside Iran 🔗 IRAN TIMES | @JAARCHI_ENG

📣 Representative of Islamic Jihad: Arabs did not stand behind the Palestinian people Nasser Abu Sharif: 🔸 The Palestinian people have been fighting for their rights for over a hundred years; from 2013 until today, due to the Arab blockade, not a single weapon has entered Gaza from outside. 🔸 All those who resist are the children of Gaza. In every family, there are resistance forces, and other family members are either journalists or doctors who also resist in their own way. For the past two years, Gaza’s medical staff has been meeting the needs of the people with bare hands. 🔸 Israel wants to fragment the region, but the Arabs have rewarded them with normalization and economic relations. This plan concerns the entire region. The Palestinian people have been under occupation—but what are Syria, Jordan, and Egypt doing? __________________________________ 📣 Beyond Headlines , Inside Iran 🔗 IRAN TIMES | @JAARCHI_ENG
