Urgent Call for Action: US, UK, and France Demand New Sanctions on Iran
A critical diplomatic standoff is intensifying as the United States, Britain, and France (known as the E3) are vigorously urging the United Nations to impose fresh sanctions on Iran. The three Western powers are making a strong case, accusing Tehran of discreetly accelerating its nuclear program and breaching the terms of the landmark 2015 nuclear agreement.
The urgency of their appeal is underscored by an impending deadline: existing UN sanctions on Iran are set to expire this October. To preempt this, the E3 nations have formally requested that the UN Security Council initiate the sanction-imposition process within the next 30 days. This move signals a significant escalation in international pressure.
This latest development follows a period of heightened tensions and diplomatic deadlock. Despite numerous high-level meetings involving Iranian officials, the E3, the US, and Israel, no breakthrough has been achieved on the contentious nuclear issue. The current diplomatic landscape remains fraught, especially since the United States unilaterally withdrew from the nuclear accord in 2018 under the Trump administration, further complicating efforts to maintain the original agreement.
