UN sanctions on Iran set to resume after push to delay fails
Read more on post.
Efforts by China and Russia to postpone the reimposition of the sanctions failed to garner enough support in the U.N. Security Council on Friday.
That failure came after last-ditch talks between Iran and European officials, including the EU’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas, ended without success earlier this week.
The sanctions include an arms embargo, a ban on uranium enrichment, a ban on activity related to some ballistic missiles, and potential inspections of Iran Air and Iran Shipping Lines cargo, as well as a freeze of assets and travel bans.
Pezeshkian said Iran needed reassurances that Israel would not attack Iran’s nuclear facilities in order to normalize its uranium enrichment program. He reiterated that the country was not pursuing nuclear weapons.
Iran barred international nuclear inspectors from visiting its facilities after Israel and the U.S. bombed several of its sites during the June conflict that Iranian authorities report killed more than 1,000 people.
“The United States has betrayed diplomacy, but it is the E3 (Britain, Germany and France) which have buried it,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi told the United Nations on Friday.
