Iran Recalls Ambassadors Amid Imminent UN Sanctions Iran has taken a significant diplomatic step by recalling its ambassadors to Germany, France, and the United Kingdom for consultations. This move comes as the country braces for the reimposition of United Nations sanctions over its nuclear program. The decision highlights the growing tensions between Iran and Western nations, particularly the European trio of Britain, France, and Germany, who have been at the forefront of efforts to reinstate these measures. The so-called "snapback" sanctions were triggered in late August after the three European countries assessed that Iran had not met its commitments under the 2015 nuclear agreement. These sanctions are set to come into effect at 00:00 GMT on Sunday unless a last-minute breakthrough occurs.
