UK, France and Germany to keep nuclear sanctions on Iran
The UK, France and Germany will retain sanctions on Iran in an attempt to deter Tehran from selling drones and missiles to Russia.
In 2015 Iran agreed to a nuclear deal and under the terms some sanctions were due to be lifted next month.
However European nations believe Iran has breached the deal by enriching and storing uranium.
When highly enriched, uranium can be used to make a nuclear weapon.
The three countries say they would incorporate expiring UN sanctions into their own laws.
Some of the measures were supposed to stop Iran from developing and exporting ballistic missiles and drones. But despite the sanctions, many Iran-made drones have been used by Russia in its war in Ukraine.
