The United Nations reinstated sanctions on Iran at midnight GMT on September 28. France, Germany, and the United Kingdom had initiated the return of sanctions in August and failed to reach an agreement with Iran in the meantime to delay it. The restored sanctions include an arms embargo, a ban on uranium enrichment and reprocessing, a ban on activity related to ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons, asset freezes and travel bans on Iranian individuals and companies, and trade restrictions on items with nuclear or missile applications. U.N. member states are also authorized to seize and dispose of goods prohibited from being shipped to Iran. Iran threatened a response to the reimposition of sanctions, and Russia claimed that the renewed sanctions were illegitimate.
