DUBAI: Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi urged U.N. Secretary General on Sunday to prevent a revival of mechanisms to implement U.N. sanctions after they were reimposed on Tehran.

"We urge you to prevent any attempt to revive the sanctions mechanisms, including the Sanctions Committee and the Panel of Experts," Araqchi wrote in a letter posted on X, adding that Tehran will not recognise any attempt to extend, revive or enforce U.N. sanctions.
