Tehran:
The UN sanctions swept away for Iran for the first time for the first time in a decade, after nuclear talks from the last points with the Western powers failed to produce a breakthrough.
President Masoud Pezeshkian said the United States had only offered Iran that a short stay in exchange for the delivery of all of his enriched uranium stock, an offer he described as unacceptable.
An effort from the 11th hour of the Iranian allies of Russia and China to postpone sanctions until April did not win enough votes on the Security Council on Friday, which means that they will come into force at midnight GMT on Saturday.
In an address at the United Nations General Assembly on Saturday, Russian’s first diplomat Sergei Lavrov accused Western governments of sabotaling diplomacy on Iran.
Their rejection of the Russian-Chinese attempt to delay the sanctions “finally exposed the Western policy of sabotage of the pursuit of constructive solutions to the United Nations Security Council, as well as its desire to extract unilateral teheran concessions by the singer and pressure,” he said.
Although Iran has enabled inspectors to return to some of its nuclear installations, Western governments have declared that they have seen insufficient progress to justify sanctions to delay, after a week of high -level diplomacy.
The European powers sparked the “Snapback” mechanism a month ago, accusing Iran of not having complied with its obligations under a 2015 agreement with major powers that saw the United Nations sanctions frozen in exchange for restrictions on its nuclear activities.
