US Tries to Sell UN on Iran Sanctions Snapback

摘要

Officials from the administration of US President Donald Trump on Thursday took their case for restoring sweeping multilateral sanctions against Iran suspended under the terms of the 2015 nuclear agreement to the UN, after a US-pushed vote to extend Iran's arms embargo last week was roundly rejected by the UN Security Council (UNSC). At the UN headquarters in New York on Thursday, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced plans to formally file a complaint on Iran's noncompliance with the 2015 nuclear deal on the UNSC agenda. “The Iranians are not in compliance with the political commitments they made today,” Pompeo told reporters Thursday.
