Iran Says No Longer Bound by 'Restrictions' on Its Nuclear Programme
Iran ends all nuclear restrictions following expiration of the 2015 deal as European powers reimpose UN sanctions through the snapback mechanism, deepening diplomatic deadlock.
- Saturday's expiry of Resolution 2231 marked the 10-year end of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, and Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said all nuclear restrictions are terminated.

- Ali Vaez, International Crisis Group Iran project director, said the snapback has 'officially buried' the deal, while US intelligence and the IAEA found no evidence this year Iran pursued atomic weapons.
