"Iran's top security body has warned that action by France, Germany and the United Kingdom to reimpose international sanctions will effectively suspend its cooperation with the United Nations nuclear watchdog. The warning from the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) came on Saturday, a day after the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) failed to adopt a resolution to permanently lift sanctions against Iran."
"That vote was called after the three European nations launched a 30-day process on August 28 to reimpose UN sanctions on Iran, claiming that Tehran has violated a deal it signed in 2015 to curb its nuclear programme. Russia and China, which are also signatories to the deal, have both rejected the bid to trigger the snapback sanctions. Iran's SNSC, which is chaired by President Masoud Pezeshkian, called the action taken by the three European nations, who are known as the E3, ill-considered."
France, Germany and the United Kingdom launched a 30-day process on August 28 to reimpose UN sanctions on Iran, alleging Tehran violated the 2015 nuclear deal. Russia and China rejected the attempt to trigger snapback sanctions, and the UN Security Council failed to adopt a resolution to permanently lift sanctions. Iran's Supreme National Security Council said the E3 action undermines months of engagement with the IAEA and will effectively suspend cooperation with the agency. Iran and the IAEA had reached an agreement in Cairo to resume inspections, but Iranian officials warned the deal could be halted without diplomatic changes.
