Iran has threatened to axe its cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog if sanctions by western nations are reimposed.
Iran's top security body said that action by Britain, France and Germany to reimpose UN sanctions will 'effectively suspend' its cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog.
The move has reignited fears that the middle eastern nation could begin enriching Uranium again.
'Despite the foreign ministry's cooperation with the (International Atomic Energy) Agency and the presentation of plans to resolve the issue, the actions of European countries will effectively suspend the path of cooperation with the agency,' the Supreme National Security Council said in a televised statement.
Britain, France and Germany launched a 30-day process last month to reimpose UN sanctions, accusing Tehran of failing to abide by a 2015 deal with world powers aimed at preventing it from developing a nuclear weapon.
