“The United Nations will reimpose broad sanctions on Iran after days of frantic diplomacy in New York failed to ease a standoff over Tehran’s nuclear program. The vote wasn’t a surprise given opposition from the US and western allies to any extension of sanctions relief. Last month, France, Germany and the UK had set in motion what’s known as sanctions ‘snapback,’ citing Tehran’s limited cooperation with the IAEA and broader nonproliferation negotiations. … Iran has for years denied its nuclear program is for military purposes and both IAEA inspectors and US intelligence communities have confirmed the absence of a weapons program in the country since the early 2000s.” (09/27/25)
