“We have no desire to hurt them [Iran]. I think we have a desire, however, to either realize a permanent solution and negotiate around snap backs [sanctions],” Witkoff told the 2025 Concordia Summit on Wednesday. On September 19, the UN Security Council rejected a draft resolution that would have extended sanctions relief for Iran under the 2015 nuclear deal. The vote followed the launch of a snapback mechanism by France, Germany and the UK on August 28, a procedure that triggered a 30-day period for reaching a diplomatic resolution before the possible reinstatement of UN sanctions. Iran's Supreme National Security Council responded on Saturday by suspending the country's cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
