Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan told the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday that dialogue and diplomacy should resolve issues related to Iran�s nuclear programme under international law, with all parties abiding a 2015 international agreement.

The United States on Monday announced new sanctions against Iran�s defense ministry and others involved in its nuclear and weapons programme. They were meant to support Washington�s assertion - disputed by Europeans and others - that all United Nations sanctions against Tehran are now restored.

�We support solving issues regarding Iran�s nuclear programme by taking international law into consideration and through dialogue and diplomacy,� Erdogan told the United Nations General Assembly in a video message.

�I repeat our call for all parties to abide by their responsibilities under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which provides serious contributions to regional and global security,� he said.
