Netanyahu stated in a television interview: “We certainly know where he is. We have a very good idea of his location,” adding that “Israel shared this intelligence information with the United States.” The European “Troika” countries (the United Kingdom, France, and Germany) have activated what is known as the “snapback mechanism” outlined in the 2015 nuclear agreement, accusing Iran of “non-compliance with the terms of the agreement.” The “Troika” has reimposed United Nations sanctions on Iran based on the “snapback mechanism,” which was announced to be activated on August 28th.
The United Nations Security Council rejected, the day before yesterday on Friday, a Russian-Chinese initiative calling for a technical extension of the nuclear agreement (resolution 2231), in a move aimed at keeping the agreement in place for an additional six months, with a call for all parties to return to negotiations immediately. Moscow considered the proposal a “real opportunity to correct the course,” but Western countries blocked its adoption.
In June, Iran’s nuclear facilities were attacked by American and Israeli airstrikes as part of a 12-day war.
