Iran condemned the UN sanctions reimposed via snapback, calling them illegal and warning of a firm response amid a record low rial against the US dollar, sources said.

- The European Union said the return of sanctions must not end diplomacy and will implement previously lifted measures, while Western leaders urged dialogue and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio called for direct talks.
