The UK, France, and Germany have reinstated UN sanctions on Iran, citing "continued nuclear escalation" and lack of cooperation. The E3 nations stated this was a "last resort" and urged Iran to avoid further escalation, emphasizing diplomacy remains open. Iran's President called the sanctions "unfair" and "illegal," while recalling ambassadors. Iran's cooperation with the IAEA and nuclear program remain points of contention.
