Britain, France and Germany triggered the return of sanctions on Iran at the UN Security Council over accusations the country has violated a 2015 deal that aimed to stop it developing a nuclear bomb. Iran denies seeking nuclear weapons.

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.
“We urge Iran and all states to abide fully by these resolutions,” the foreign ministers of France, Britain and Germany said in a joint statement.
“We urge Iran to refrain from any escalatory action and to return to compliance with its legally binding safeguards obligations.”
“Iran must accept direct talks, held in good faith, without stalling or obfuscation,” he said, stressing that until there was a new deal it was important that countries implemented sanctions to pressure Iran’s leaders to do what is “best for the safety of the world.”
With the return of UN sanctions, Iran will again be subjected to an arms embargo and a ban on all uranium enrichment and reprocessing activities, and any activity related to ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons, including launches.
