According to the provided WSWS article, the US and its allies, particularly Germany, France, and Britain (the E3), are increasing pressure on Iran regarding its nuclear program. They are accusing Iran of violating the 2015 nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), by increasing its uranium enrichment activities. This renewed pressure comes after a recent US/Israeli bombardment which further crippled Iran’s already struggling economy, plagued by hyperinflation, a plunging currency, and economic recession.
The E3 are reportedly considering triggering the “snapback” mechanism within the JCPOA, which would reimpose all UN sanctions on Iran. This action, initiated by the European powers and likely supported by the US, aims to force Iran back into compliance with the nuclear deal. However, Iran rejects these accusations, asserting that its nuclear program is solely for peaceful purposes and that it has the right to develop nuclear technology. The article suggests that the US and its allies are using the nuclear issue as a pretext to further isolate and weaken Iran, potentially paving the way for further military intervention. The imposition of sanctions would further devastate Iran’s economy.
