Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Wednesday blasted a move by Germany, Britain and France to trigger the "snapback" of international sanctions on Iran last month which is due to take effect in days.
"Three European states - having failed through a decade of bad faith and thereafter by supporting military aggression to bring the proud people of Iran to their knees - at the behest of the United States of America sought by means of pressure, coercion, imposition and manifest abuse to reinstate against the Iran Security Council resolutions that had already been terminated," he said.
"In doing so, they set aside good faith. They circumvented legal obligations," he added, calling the European move a "gross violation."
