Iran yesterday condemned as "unjustifiable" the reinstatement of United Nations sanctions over its nuclear programme, after the collapse of talks with Western powers and Israeli and US strikes on its nuclear sites. The measures, which bar dealings linked to the Islamic republic's nuclear and ballistic missile activities, took effect Saturday overnight after Western powers triggered the so-called "snapback" mechanism under the 2015 nuclear accord. The return of the sanctions ends months of tense diplomacy. Despite the reimposition, Western leaders stressed channels for dialogue remained open.
