Iran’s nuclear program is putting pressure on it further.
The sanctions that were lifted as part of a landmark nuclear agreement in 2015 have been reinstated by European powers.
They target Iran’s banking, oil, and other vital industries. Additionally, imports of weapons are subject to an embargo.
Iran’s nuclear program threatens international security, according to Western allies, and it has not cooperated with the UN nuclear watchdog.
Tehran has a history of maintaining that its nuclear arsenal is only intended for civilian purposes and has declared its readiness to withstand the pressure.
