Security Council votes against delaying reimposition of UN sanctions on Iran over its nuclear programme
Russian and Chinese diplomats pushed for the Security Council to delay the return of sanctions, but they failed to sway enough of the other members.
The UN Security Council on Friday rejected another last-ditch effort to delay the reimposition of sanctions on Iran over its nuclear programme a day before the deadline and after Western countries claimed that weeks of meetings failed to result in a “concrete” agreement. tions are set to snap back as of 8pm in New York on Saturday (00:00 GMT on Sunday).
