UN Reimposes Sanctions on Iran Over Nuclear Deal Violations
The United Nations has reimposed sanctions on Iran following its non-compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal, escalating tensions amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. Despite attempts by Iranian officials for diplomatic engagement, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei dismissed negotiations with the U.S. as futile. The sanctions freeze Iranian assets, cease arms deals, and penalize ballistic missile development, affecting Iran’s economy. The West remains concerned as Iran enriches uranium to near-weapons-grade levels, raising the prospect of nuclear weapons development. This situation underscores the fragility of regional stability and the ongoing geopolitical strife, particularly between Iran and Western powers, affecting global security dynamics, including India’s strategic environment in the region.
