This came a day after Britain, France and Germany warned Iran against breaking limits of a major nuclear deal signed in 2015 between Iran and six world powers.
The three countries had announced on Tuesday that they triggered the dispute mechanism provided for in the landmark nuclear agreement in order to force Tehran to honour its commitments under the accord.
Iran responded by warning the United Kingdom, France and Germany about “the consequences” of their decision to launch a dispute mechanism against it under the 2015 nuclear deal.
