Iran Press/ America: The administration of President Donald Trump said the sanctions had been re-activated under the “snapback” mechanism in a landmark 2015 nuclear treaty – despite Washington having withdrawn from the deal.
On Sunday, France, Germany, and Britain issued a joint statement saying Washington’s “purported notification” was “incapable of having any legal effect.”
Pompeo told Fox News that “arms sales, tanks, air defense systems, all of those, in a couple of weeks, would have been permitted to have been sold. And the Europeans have not joined us in this.”
“They tell us privately we don’t want the arms sales to come back... but they haven’t lifted a finger,” Pompeo said.
