United Nations sanctions on Iran are set to be reimposed on Saturday, Britain's U.N. envoy said on Friday after a Security Council resolution to delay them failed, prompting Tehran to warn that the West bore responsibility for any consequences.⁣ ⁣ The decision to restore sanctions by Western powers is likely to exacerbate tensions with Tehran, which has already warned that the action would be met with a harsh response and open the door to escalation.⁣ ⁣ The push to delay the return of sanctions on Iran failed at the 15-member U.N. Security Council after only four countries supported their draft resolution.⁣⁣ ⁣ #UN #Iran #Unitednations #securitycouncil #sanctions⁣
