A senior Iranian diplomat says Tehran has issued five important documents to clarify the E3’s illegal move in restoring the lifted sanctions.

The 2015 nuclear deal and its UN-backed restrictions have officially expired following the termination of UN Security Council Resolution 2231 and all related provisions.

Iran says it is answerable only to “the rule of law, not coercion,” commenting on the scheduled legal expiration of nuclear restrictions on the country.

Iran’s embassy in Denmark says the continuation of sanctions on Tehran’s peaceful nuclear program will be illegal with the expiration of the UN Security Council Resolution 2231.

Russia’s Foreign Ministry says that all remaining United Nations restrictions on Iran will formally expire on October 18.

The spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry says the recent border clashes between Afghanistan and Pakistan could have consequences extending beyond the borders of the two countries.

Iran thanks Pakistan for its “responsible stance” at the United Nations Security Council against the European countries’ abuse of a dispute mechanism outlined in the 2015 nuclear deal to re-impose sanctions against the Islamic Republic.
