Iran exposed the talks with Washington to curb the atomic ambitions of the Islamic Republic to the USA and Israel in June. Iran denies all intent to develop atomic bombs.
The first diplomat of Iran said on Wednesday that the moment for “effective” nuclear discussions with the United States had not yet arrived and that Iran would not completely reduce cooperation with the UNTom monitor.
Britain also imposed new Iran -related sanctions on Thursday, which an Iranian oil magnate and four companies in black and said that they are part of a network that supports Tehran’s overseas activities, including “destabilization” in Ukraine and Israel.
The sanctions include freezing and a ban on assets for Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani and freezing assets for companies in the sectors of shipping, petrochemical and financial sectors, the foreign office said.
“The trust of Iran in income from trade networks and networked organizations enables him to carry out his destabilizing activities, including the support of proxies and partners in the region and facilitate state threats on British soil,” said the British Minister for the Middle East Hamish Falconer.

The Iranian embassy in London said that it had condemned the so -called Great Britain’s “one -sided and illegal measures” and “reasonless allegations”.
Shamkhani, the son of a consultant by the Supreme of the Supreme of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, could not be achieved for a comment.
The United States, who sanctioned Shamkhani last month, stated to control a huge network of container ships and tankers through a complex network of intermediaries that sell Iranian and Russian oil and other goods all over the world.
Some of the companies approved by Great Britain on Thursday were quoted for the action in the name of Shamkhani, which is accused of supporting Iran’s operations in supporting Iran. Shamkhani was also approved by the European Union in July.
The British legislator warned last month that Iran was a growing and multifaceted threat to Great Britain, and although it has not yet competed with the extent of the challenges of Russia or China, the government was poorly prepared to face it.
They said that the Iranian threat caused physical attacks and potential attacks on dissidents and Jewish communities as well as espionage, offensive cyber operations and efforts to develop nuclear weapons.
Iran rejected these claims and referred to them “unfounded, politically motivated and hostile accusations”.
