**UN Reimposes Sanctions on Iran After Nuclear Talks Collapse**
*By Snehil Singh | Sep 28, 2025, 03:05 PM*
The United Nations has reimposed sweeping sanctions on Iran, a decade after they were first lifted. This move follows the collapse of nuclear negotiations between Iran and Western powers. The newly reinstated sanctions prohibit transactions related to Tehran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs and are expected to have a broader impact on Iran’s already struggling economy.
### Diplomatic Efforts and Calls for Dialogue
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has urged Iran to “accept direct talks, held in good faith” and called on UN member states to “immediately” implement the sanctions. Meanwhile, the foreign ministers of Britain, France, and Germany reaffirmed their commitment to pursuing a diplomatic solution aimed at preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. They also urged Tehran to “refrain from any escalatory action.”
### Iran’s Response and Failed Attempts to Delay Sanctions
Although Iran has permitted UN inspectors back into its nuclear sites, President Masoud Pezeshkian rejected a US proposal for a temporary pause in nuclear activity in exchange for handing over the country’s entire stockpile of enriched uranium. An effort by Russia and China to postpone the sanctions implementation until April was unsuccessful.
Germany, along with the UK and France, which spearheaded the sanctions, stated it had “no choice” but to act given Iran’s non-compliance with its international obligations.
### Diplomatic Fallout
Russia has refused to enforce the sanctions, labeling them invalid. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov claimed the sanctions “finally exposed the West’s policy of sabotaging the pursuit of constructive solutions.” In reaction to the renewed sanctions, Iran recalled its ambassadors from the UK, France, and Germany for consultations.
### Economic Impact of the Renewed Sanctions
The reinstated sanctions are already affecting Iran’s economy. According to Iranian engineer Dariush, the exchange rate is soaring and prices are climbing. On Saturday, the US dollar reached a record high of approximately 1.12 million rials on the black market.
Despite these challenges, the Brussels-based think tank International Crisis Group noted that Iran appears dismissive of the sanctions, having already adapted to previous US restrictions.
