The spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry says the recent border clashes between Afghanistan and Pakistan could have consequences extending beyond the borders of the two countries.

Iran thanks Pakistan for its “responsible stance” at the United Nations Security Council against the European countries’ abuse of a dispute mechanism outlined in the 2015 nuclear deal to re-impose sanctions against the Islamic Republic. 

This episode of Spotlight examines what the snapback mechanism is and what its potential consequences will be in the days ahead.

The Iranian foreign minister says the move by Britain, France, and Germany to reinstate UN sanctions against the Islamic Republic will inflict “irreparable damage” on Europe’s international credibility.

Iran’s deputy foreign minister says the draft resolution put forward by Russia and China to the UN Security Council is the last chance to defuse tensions created by the West on Tehran’s nuclear issue.

The Iranian foreign minister calls on the EU to honor its obligations under a UN resolution that endorsed the 2015 nuclear deal and counter measures that endanger democracy.

Tehran has urged the United Nations to take more serious action in the face of Israeli atrocities in Iran.
