France on Wednesday raised the possibility of triggering a mechanism included in the 2015 Iran nuclear deal that could lead to the reimposition of UN sanctions, Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian told the national assembly.

"Every two months there is another notch (from Iran) to the extent that we are wondering today, and I say very clearly, about the implementation of the dispute resolution mechanism in the treaty," Le Drian warned.
