The United Nations has reinstated sweeping economic and military sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program, a decade after the landmark Iran nuclear deal. The U.K., France and Germany — known as the “E3” — have accused Iran of “continued nuclear escalation” after Iran stopped inspections of its nuclear facilities after Israel and the U.S. bombed them. Here’s Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
Abbas Araghchi: “The E3 and the United States bear full responsibility for the serious consequences of today’s decision. By ignoring facts, spreading false claims, misrepresenting Iran’s peaceful program and blocking diplomacy, they have actively and intently paved the way for dangerous escalation.”
This comes as Iran executed a man the judiciary said was “one of the most important spies for Israel in Iran.” Iran has executed at least 10 people this year convicted of spying for Israel.
