The Spin
Anti-Iran narrative
Iran's nuclear escalation over six years has defied global non-proliferation rules with unprecedented uranium stockpiles lacking civilian justification. The snapback sanctions are justified in response to Iran's significant violations after barring inspectors and refusing diplomatic solutions. Western powers rightfully rejected hollow efforts to delay consequences for Iran's dangerous nuclear program.
Pro-Iran narrative
European countries abused the dispute resolution mechanism through irresponsible actions that ignore Iran's peaceful nuclear program and goodwill gestures. The snapback is an unfair punishment after illegal Israeli and U.S. attacks on Iranian facilities made inspections impossible. Iran's resilience will neutralize these unjust sanctions through expanded regional cooperation.
