The UN Security Council has decisively rejected resolutions proposed by Russia and China aimed at delaying the reinstatement of sanctions on Iran due to its nuclear program. With diplomatic efforts failing and a snapback of sanctions imminent, Iran has recalled its ambassadors from several European nations and is preparing for the impact of renewed sanctions. President Macron of France has indicated that time is running out for Iran to avoid the sanctions, as talks between Iran and European powers struggle to find common ground. As sanctions loom, the situation in Iran is marked by increasing economic anxiety and heightened international scrutiny.
