Data shows Iran’s oil exports reached a 7-year high of nearly 2 million bpd in September.

Iran and Russia say the European countries' move to reinstate UN sanctions against Tehran is illegal.

The Russian ambassador to the United Nations says his country does not recognize the legitimacy of re-imposing sanctions on Iran via snapback mechanism.

Minister says the re-imposition of UN sanctions won’t add any new pressure on Iran’s oil exports.

The ‘snapback’ sanctions against Iran are not only politically motivated but also lack legal basis, given the absence of UN consensus and the expiration of the framework established under UN Security Council Resolution 2231.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says an agreement on the snapback mechanism was unattainable due to the excessive ambition of the US and the support of European countries.

Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian blasts the re-imposition of UN sanctions as “unacceptable” and “reprehensible.”
