The UN Security Council will vote Friday on whether to reimpose sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program, its rotating presidency says, after Britain, France and Germany triggered the process that led to the vote.

The three European countries, signatories to the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action that lifted sanctions, allege that Iran has broken its commitments to curb enrichment under the treaty, though they have engaged in talks with Tehran in recent weeks in an attempt to stave off the move.

Diplomatic sources expect that the resolution will not have the nine votes needed to keep the sanctions lifted, meaning the measures will be reimposed.
