Iran Rejects UN Sanctions; Population Fears Political Isolation and Economic Consequences

Iran described the reinstatement of UN sanctions on its nuclear program as ‘unjustifiable’ on Sunday, following the breakdown of negotiations with Western powers. The country urged other nations not to enforce these measures that include an arms embargo and freezing of assets and banking activities of entities involved in Iran’s nuclear and ballistic programs. The population in Iran is now apprehensive about the potential political isolation and negative economic impact these sanctions may bring.
