Iran warned not to escalate tensions as UN sanctions reimposed

The UK, France, and Germany have warned Iran not to escalate tensions after the United Nations reimposed sanctions on the country due to concerns over its nuclear program. The sanctions, which were lifted under the 2015 nuclear deal, have been reinstated after the United States unilaterally withdrew from the agreement in 2018. The three European powers, who remain signatories to the deal, have urged Iran to return to full compliance with the agreement. Iran has condemned the reimposition of sanctions, calling it an "unlawful" move. The country has also threatened to take further steps to reduce its commitments under the nuclear deal if the other parties fail to provide the economic benefits promised. The situation highlights the ongoing tensions between Iran and the international community over its nuclear activities. While the European nations have sought to preserve the deal, the US withdrawal and the subsequent sanctions have put the agreement under strain.
