ENB Pub Note: Sanctions don’t work as intended – That is a great line from Irina Slav, and the group of the UK, France, and Germany has lost its geopolitical might and influence. Becoming irrelevant is what happens when you deindustrialize based on Net Zero energy policies. 

Britain, France and Germany have triggered a 30-day process to reimpose United Nations sanctions on Iran, a move that threatens to shake up tanker markets.

The so-called snapback mechanism, launched on Thursday, would reinstate wide-ranging sanctions suspended under the 2015 nuclear accord, including restrictions on oil exports, financial flows, and maritime trade.

Iran’s crude exports—already moving largely in the shadows via a sprawling ghost fleet of elderly tankers—would once again be designated as fully illicit under international law. Insurers, financiers and port authorities would face renewed pressure to sever ties with Iranian-linked tonnage.

Western officials said the measure comes in response to Tehran’s acceleration of uranium enrichment activities.

The European move follows Donald Trump’s so-called maximum pressure campaign he has waged against Iran since his return to power in the US in January with a slew of sanctions aimed at Tehran.
