In a significant development, the UN Security Council has rejected attempts by Russia and China to delay the reimposition of sanctions on Iran related to its nuclear program. As diplomatic efforts falter, sanctions are set to be reinstated, with the Iranian government expressing defiance amidst the looming crisis. Iran has recalled its envoys to key European nations following the failure of talks to extend sanctions relief. Despite IAEA inspections resuming, the matter underscores growing tensions as Iran vows to continue its nuclear activities. Analysts warn that these sanctions will further exacerbate the economic situation in Iran, which faces an increasingly hungry and poorer populace.
