UNITED NATIONS: Key European powers triggered a process that led the United Nations on Saturday. To reinstate an arms embargo and other sanctions on Iran, which Tehran warned it would meet with a harsh response.
Britain, France, and Germany triggered the return of sanctions on Iran at the UN Security Council. Over accusations that the country has violated a 2015 deal that aimed to stop it from developing a nuclear bomb. Iran denies seeking nuclear weapons.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi on Sunday urged the UN Secretary General. To block the revival of mechanisms enforcing UN sanctions after their reimposition on Tehran.
“We urge you to prevent any attempt to revive the sanctions mechanisms, including the Sanctions Committee. And the Panel of Experts”. Araqchi wrote in a letter posted on X, adding that Tehran will not recognise any attempt to extend, revive, or enforce UN sanctions.
The end of the decade-long nuclear deal originally agreed by Iran, Britain, Germany, France, the United States, Russia, and China is likely to exacerbate tensions in the Middle East, just months after Israel and the US bombed Iranian nuclear sites.
UN sanctions imposed by the Security Council in resolutions adopted between 2006 and 2010 were reinstated at 8 pm EDT Saturday (0000 GMT). Attempts to delay the return of all sanctions on Iran failed on the sidelines of the annual gathering of world leaders at the UN this week.
