The United Nations reimposed sanctions on Iran early Sunday over its nuclear program, further squeezing the Islamic Republic as its people increasingly find themselves priced out of the food they need to survive and worried about their futures.

UNITED NATIONS, Sept 26 (Reuters) - United Nations sanctions on Iran are set to be reimposed on Saturday, Britain's U.N. envoy said on Friday after a Russian and Chinese Security Council resolution to delay them failed, prompting Tehran to warn that the West bore responsibility for any consequences.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian took the stage at the U_N_ to blast Israeli and U_S_ attacks in June as inflicting “a grievous blow upon international trust and the very prospect of peace in the region.

The UN reimposed sanctions on Iran after last-ditch talks between Tehran and European powers failed to resolve the latest of decades of standoffs over Iran's nuclear program.

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi appealed to the U.N. Secretary General to stop attempts to reinstate U.N. sanctions. Araqchi emphasized that Tehran will not acknowledge any actions to revive these sanctions or related mechanisms.

Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian said the Trump administration had demanded his country hand over its entire enriched uranium stockpile in exchange for temporary relief from impending UN sanctions.
