France, Britain and Germany warned Iran against “escalatory action” on Sunday as deep UN sanctions on Tehran came back into force following failed last-minute nuclear talks.
“The reimposition of UN sanctions is not the end of diplomacy,” the foreign ministers of the three European nations, known as the E3, said in a joint statement.
“We urge Iran to refrain from any escalatory action and to return to compliance with its legally binding safeguards obligations,” they said.
