UN Security Council Dismisses Russia and China’s Proposal
The UN Security Council has rejected a last-minute proposal from Russia and China to delay the reimposition of sanctions on Iran due to its nuclear program. This decision came just a day before the sanctions deadline. Western nations argued that several weeks of intense negotiations led nowhere, as they could not reach a concrete agreement with Iran.
Sanctions on Iran to Resume
As a result of the Security Council’s decision, sanctions on Iran will go back into effect as scheduled. The move highlights the ongoing tensions between Western powers and Russia and China over how to handle Iran’s nuclear ambitions. The West maintains that Iran has not met its obligations under the nuclear deal. Meanwhile, Russia and China have pushed for more time and dialogue. With the rejection of their proposal, Iran faces renewed economic and diplomatic pressure, intensifying the global debate around its nuclear program.
