London: Several former British diplomats have voiced skepticism about the European troika's threats to trigger the "snapback" of international sanctions against Iran, challenging the credibility and fairness of the move. According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Peter Ford, former British ambassador to Syria and Bahrain, stated in London that Europe has not only failed to uphold its obligations under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (J.C.P.O.A.) but has also compromised its neutrality by siding with the Israeli regime and the United States in their military aggression against Iran last month. With such a record, Europeans hypocritically accuse Iran of breaching its commitments, Ford said. Peter Jenkins, former British representative to the International Atomic Energy Agency (I.A.E.A.), echoed the criticism, describing the decision to trigger the snapback mechanism as 'ill-considered and unfair.' He noted that the move was not only 'unjustified' but also likely to be ineffective, as the majority of U .N. member states will disregard it. A retired British diplomat, speaking to IRNA on condition of anonymity, added that the unilateral actions of the European troika, in coordination with the United States' 'maximum pressure' policy, are fueling distrust and pushing diplomacy into a deadlock. Restoring trust requires a sincere return to diplomatic engagement, not threats or psychological projection, the diplomat emphasized.
