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.
France -- speaking for itself, Germany, and Britain -- has told Iran it must allow full access to UN nuclear inspectors, immediately resume nuclear negotiations, and offer transparency on highly enriched uranium, the whereabouts of which has been the subject of speculation.
In a sweeping interview with Tom Llamas, anchor of "NBC Nightly News with Tom Llamas," President Masoud Pezeshkian detailed an injury he sustained during the war with Israel earlier this year and said nuclear inspectors were welcome to visit his country.
Germany said broader United Nations sanctions will be imposed on Iran after talks between European powers and the Islamic Republic failed to deliver a solution to their impasse over the country’s nuclear program.
Thousands of Iranian Americans rallied in New York, rejecting Pezeshkian’s legitimacy and calling for a democratic Iran.
Ali Larijani, Iran’s chief nuclear negotiator, said the country will end its participation in international weapons inspections if sanctions are reimposed.
Tehran and Washington signalled a possible softening in nuclear tensions on Wednesday, with Iran insisting it has no ambitions to build nuclear weapons and the U.S. expressing readiness to resume talks aimed at resolving the long-standing standoff.
