BREAKING
Araghchi: Iran adopted a constructive approach in its engagement to ensure the European Union and the E3 fully honored their commitments and lifted all sanctions.
Araghchi: After a year of Iran’s full compliance with the agreement, it began implementing gradual, proportionate, and reversible compensatory steps in accordance with its recognized rights under the deal.
Araghchi: Iran demonstrated the utmost restraint in the face of repeated and fundamental violations and made extensive efforts to restore balance and preserve the agreement.
In his letter, Araghchi stated: The E3 failed to fulfill their obligations and instead imposed additional illegal sanctions on Iranian individuals and institutions.
Araghchi: These coercive measures constituted a grave violation of international law and the UN Charter, causing severe disruption in the implementation of the agreement.
Araghchi: Washington initially refrained from fulfilling its commitments, then withdrew from the agreement, reimposed its illegal and unilateral sanctions, and even expanded them.
Araghchi: UN Security Council Resolution 2231 has expired and fully ceased to be in effect as of today, in accordance with its explicit provisions.
Iranian Foreign Ministry: Reimposing sanctions on Iran is illegal

Low pay and job security are the driving forces behind the walkout.

Tens of thousands of rail workers have staged a day-long walkout in protest over pay and job security, which led to sending commutes into chaos, forcing many to stay at home in the UK. 

The British railway system travels have nearly halted again on Thursday amid the second of 3 days of nationwide strike this week, which has been the biggest in decades.

Only one-fifth, approximately, of services are set to operate in set hours which have been heavily reduced, starting a lot later than usual in the morning and ending as early as 6:30 pm.

The third day is planned for Saturday, as fears arise that the walkouts would last for weeks in the future as Britain grapples with severe inflation and sluggish economic growth - stagflation. 

It, however, does not stop here. On Thursday, British Airways workers at London's Heathrow Airport have also voted to strike over low wages. However, the unions did not specify when the strikes would happen but hinted that they will be taking place during the high season. The airport is already suffering from staff shortages.

"The ultimate result is for us to receive some kind of a fair pay raise and assurances that our jobs are going to be secure for the near future," striking rail worker Matthew Larkin told AFP from a picket line at a London station.
