 UK, France and Germany to keep nuclear sanctions on Iran - BBC News

In an effort to prevent Tehran from supplying drones and missiles to Russia, the UK, France, and Germany have opted to keep sanctions in place against Iran. The European countries think that Iran's enrichment and storage of uranium violated the 2015 nuclear agreement. The sanctions are intended to keep Iran subject to nuclear proliferation-related restrictions, including arms and missile embargos. The choice was made in an effort to lessen the likelihood that Iran will transfer ballistic missiles to Russia in addition to preventing it from gaining economically.

Tehran has already sold many drones to Moscow, which have been used against Ukraine. The sanctions, according to the UK, France, and Germany, also seek to keep the arms and missile embargoes in place. The E3 group of European nations declared that their own legal systems would be amended to take into account the expiration of UN sanctions. Until Tehran was "fully compliant" with the 2015 nuclear agreement, according to the E3, the sanctions would remain in place. Iran, on the other hand, argued that the decision "clearly" violated the E3's obligations under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and UN Security Council Resolution 2231.
