Iran has condemned the United Nations (UN) for reimposing sanctions on its nuclear program.
It described the move as "unfair" and called on member states not to comply with what it sees as mere political coercion.
The strong statement came after a "snapback" process to reactivate old sanctions but has now angered Tehran for what it sees as a violation of the country's right to develop nuclear energy.
The Iranian government has insisted that cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will be reviewed and warned that failure of diplomacy could lead to tougher retaliation against those supporting the sanctions.
International analysts have begun to voice concerns that Iran's warning could complicate peace talks and increase the risk of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East as Iran chooses to take rhetorical action against the international community.
The reimposition of sanctions ends months of diplomacy aimed at reviving nuclear talks that have been stalled since June, when Iran's nuclear facilities were attacked by Israel and the United States.
Despite the reimposition of sanctions, Western leaders remain open to diplomacy.
However, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has warned against any nuclear talks that could spark new problems.
