Iran will expel United Nations nuclear watchdog inspectors unless sanctions are lifted by a 21 February deadline. This latest move comes after Parliament passed a law in November that obliges the government to halt inspections of its nuclear sites under Tehran's 2015 nuclear deal if sanctions are not eased.

Meanwhile, Germany, France, and Britain warn this latest move will lead to serious nuclear non-proliferation implications.
