Sept. 28 (UPI) -- A decade after they were lifted, economic and military sanctions were reimposed on Iran Sunday over its nuclear program.
Britain, France and Germany have accused Iran of "continued nuclear escalation," and reactivated what is known as a "snapback mechanism" over Iran's lack of cooperation to de-escalate the country's nuclear program.
Iran suspended inspections of its nuclear facilities under terms of a 2015 deal after Israel and the United States bombed several of the country's nuclear sites in June.
Iranian President Masound Pezeshkian has continued to maintain that his country has no intentions of developing nuclear weapons, and made the claim again last week.
