News - Yemen: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Sana’a condemned the move by the so-called European Troika — France, Germany, and Britain — to reimpose sanctions on the Islamic Republic of Iran.

In a statement, the ministry reaffirmed Yemen’s rejection of hostile policies against Iran, stressing that the United States continues to exert all forms of pressure on Tehran.

It held both the Troika states and the US responsible for the potential consequences of reimposing sanctions, warning of an escalation that threatens regional and international security.

The ministry noted that despite Iran’s consistent approach of dialogue and cooperation, Washington and the European Troika have responded with further violations, pressure, and aggression.

It emphasized that renewed sanctions represent further evidence of the arrogance condemned in the Holy Qur’an, while underscoring that policies of coercion and sanctions cannot break the will of free nations.

On September 19, the UN Security Council failed to adopt resolutions that would have prevented or delayed the re-imposition of sanctions on Iran after the E3 (Britain, France, Germany) triggered the JCPOA “snapback” mechanism, accusing Tehran of non-compliance.

With no agreement reached, sanctions were automatically restored on September 29, re-freezing Iranian assets abroad, banning arms transactions, and targeting the country’s missile program. Iran has rejected the move as illegitimate, arguing that the US had already withdrawn from the JCPOA and that the Europeans abandoned their obligations under the deal.
