"The UN has reimposed sanctions that were lifted under a 2015 nuclear deal. Iran is facing new pressure due to its nuclear programme. European powers have re-imposed sanctions that were lifted as part of a landmark 2015 nuclear agreement. They target Iran's banking, oil, and other crucial sectors. There is also an embargo on arms imports. Western allies say Iran has not been cooperating with the United Nations nuclear watchdog, and that its nuclear programme poses a threat to international security."
"Tehran has always maintained that its nuclear programme is for civilian use, and says it is ready to weather the storm. So, is there still room for diplomacy? Presenter: Nick Clark Guests: Ellie Geranmayeh senior policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations, and a specialist in Europe-Iran relations Mark Fitzpatrick former US diplomat, and associate fellow at the International Institute for Strategic Studies Marzie Khalilian Iranian political analyst and researcher at Carleton University, focusing on US-Middle East relations."
UN and European sanctions that had been lifted under the 2015 nuclear agreement have been reimposed, increasing international pressure on Iran over its nuclear programme. The measures target Iran's banking and oil sectors and impose an arms import embargo. Western governments assert that Iran has not cooperated with the UN nuclear watchdog and that the programme poses a threat to international security. Tehran maintains that its nuclear activities are civilian in nature and states readiness to withstand the sanctions. The sanctions revive uncertainty about diplomatic avenues and heighten regional and global tensions over proliferation risks.
