Britain, France and Germany say that UN sanctions relief for Iran would continue beyond September 20, expressing their commitment to the nuclear deal
said last month that he triggered a 30-day process at the Security Council leading to a return of UN sanctions on Iran on Saturday that would also prevent a conventional arms embargo on Tehran from expiring on October 18.
But 13 of the Security Council members say Washington's move is void because it is no longer a party to the nuclear deal. The United States say it can make the move because the 2015 Security Council resolution still names it as a participant. Diplomats say few countries are likely to reimpose the measures, which were lifted under the deal that aimed to stop Iran developing nuclear weapons.
US President Donald Trump plans to issue an executive order in the coming days allowing him to impose US sanctions on anyone who violates the UN arms embargo on Iran, sources have told Reuters, in a bid to reinforce the U.S. assertion that the measure has been extended indefinitely beyond October 18.
