Iran requested that Washington exert influence on European states not to trigger United Nations sanctions on Tehran in talks on Saturday in Oman, Iran's state-run Tehran Times newspaper reported.
"(Iran) told the US on Saturday that it would be on Washington to make sure snap back does not get activated," the paper wrote, without specifying its sources.
Germany, Britain and France are parties to a 2015 international nuclear deal which is due to expire by October 18 and can trigger international sanctions which predate the deal up until then if it deems Iran non-compliant.
The sanctions that were lifted under that agreement are due to "snap back" into place 30 days after the mechanism is triggered unless the council's five permanent members unanimously vote to keep the sanctions lifted.
