Iran, which had insisted the UN lacked authority to reimpose the measures, now faces renewed isolation amid growing domestic hardship.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" album=\"true\" data-v-2a4c3726=\"\" data-v-e580db1b-s=\"\">Meanwhile, the Iranian rial has plunged to record lows, driving up food prices and leaving many citizens unable to afford basic staples like meat and rice. The sanctions also follow the 12-day war in June, during which Israel launched strikes on Iranian targets and the United States bombed nuclear sites.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" album=\"true\" data-v-2a4c3726=\"\" data-v-e580db1b-s=\"\">In response to the European powers\u2019 move, Iran recalled its ambassadors to France, Germany, and the UK for consultations, according to state-run IRNA. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\" album=\"true\" data-v-2a4c3726=\"\" data-v-e580db1b-s=\"\">Iran argues the snapback mechanism is illegitimate, citing the United States\u2019 unilateral withdrawal from the nuclear accord in 2018 under President Donald Trump during his first term in office. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\" album=\"true\" data-v-2a4c3726=\"\" data-v-e580db1b-s=\"\">The sanctions are expected to escalate already heightened tensions between Iran and the West.
