Russia says it will not join other countries in punishing Iran for making nuclear weapons.
The UK, France and Germany say Iran has broken an agreement to stop making the weapons, and they are going to go back to sanctions on the country.
Russia's United Nations Ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia, says western nations are trying to start conflict with the sanctions.
"Our Western colleagues who initiated the so-called snapback, the legitimacy of which we do not recognise, they keep saying that they are open for diplomatic solutions, although they forfeited a diplomatic solution already by initiating an illegal procedure."

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg has been taken by the Israeli army from a group of boats carrying food and other supplies for people in Gaza.
Israel’s Foreign Ministry says the boats were safely stopped and their passengers are safe and well.
Australian Juliet Lamon is on one of the boats and shared this recording.
"They're still pursuing us. It doesn't really feel like there's any way out of this. We can probably just keep going we're 50 nautical miles from Gaza we're going to try and get back into the pack and not be so vulnerable on our own. But yeah that was a really really close call."

Soldiers and specialists have joined the search for a four-year-old boy who is missing from a sheep property in South Australia.
Police Superintendent Mark Syrus says 48 defence force workers are now part of a group including a helicopter, search dogs - and an Indigenous tracker.
"We actually got the services of a specialist person in tracking. He's got a very close connection with the country. And so, he came up yesterday afternoon and did a search of the area. He's back in the field now and just having a drive around and assisting in the search efforts."
The only trace found of the preschooler so far has been a tiny footprint in the dirt, approximately 500 metres from the family homestead.
Four-year-old August, known as Gus, was last seen on Saturday afternoon.

Up to 1,500 new homes, including 180 build-to-rent apartments for essential workers, will be built in Chatswood in north Sydney.
New South Wales Premier, Chris Minns, says essential workers deserve an affordable place to live near their job and community.
"We need to make and pull every lever that we possibly can to both encourage people to live and work in communities like here in the North Shore and northern beaches but also entice people into important jobs in the New South Wales public service."
