Brussels (Brussels Morning Newspaper) – The European Union’s chief diplomat, Kaja Kallas, emphasised on Sunday that widespread sanctions against Iran’s nuclear programme should not mark the end of diplomatic efforts with the Islamic Republic.
For the first time in ten years, broad UN sanctions against Iran have been reinstated after nuclear negotiations with Western powers ended without a breakthrough.

France, Germany, and the UK triggered a snapback over Iran 30 days ago due to increased restrictions on monitoring its nuclear program and the deadlock in negotiations with the U.S.
The sanctions are a “snapback” of measures that were frozen in 2015 when Iran agreed to significant restrictions on its nuclear program under an agreement negotiated by former US President Barack Obama.
