UN sanctions against Iran, under the "snapback" mechanism, have been reinstated. This comes after the Security Council rejected a Chinese-Russian request the day before yesterday to postpone the decision, which was made on the grounds that Tehran violated the terms of the nuclear deal. Germany, Britain and France called on Iran after the sanctions were imposed "to refrain from any action that would increase escalation." Additionally, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio called on the Islamic Republic "to agree to direct talks," adding that "diplomacy is still an option. A nuclear deal is the best option for the Iranian people and the entire world."
