Iran has recalled its ambassadors to Germany, France and the United Kingdom on Saturday for consultation over the dispute mechanism to reinstate U.N. sanctions, the country's Mehr state news agency reported.

The move comes after a Russian and Chinese push on Friday to delay the revival of the international sanctions on Iran failed at the 15-member U.N. Security Council after only four countries supported their draft resolution, opening the door for the reimposition of sanctions.
