Germany Says UN Will Sanction Iran After Fruitless Nuclear Talks

Germany said broader United Nations sanctions will be imposed on Iran after talks between European powers and the Islamic Republic failed to deliver a solution to their impasse over the country’s nuclear program.

“We offered a lot of opportunities to come to a new negotiated solution, but they didn’t use that space,” German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul told Bloomberg TV, referring to Iranian officials. “The sanctions will be imposed.”
