Iran Loses ‘Snap-Back’ Vote in a Landslide
Iran still isn’t serious about giving up the remains of its nuclear-weapons program. The consequence on Friday was the clinching of “snap-back” United Nations sanctions, set to take effect on Sept. 28.

Iran didn’t respond for a month, snubbed U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, and threatened the U.N.’s International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief.

But this wall of fear was shattered by the Iranian people’s courageous defiance. From the powerful emptiness of general strikes in Kurdistan to defiant chants of “Death to the dictator” echoing from Tehran’s rooftops, the nation proved that the flame of the 2022 uprising is not a memory, but a living force.
