United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told the Security Council on Saturday he cannot take any action on a U.S. declaration that all U.N. sanctions on Iran had been reimposed because “there would appear to be uncertainty” on the issue.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said the limits on arms trade with Iran will be lifted by the end of October, reiterating that Iran has not been under arms embargo; but rather it faced restrictions for buying arms.
Indonesian Ambassador to UN and the current president of the UN Security Council, Dian Triansyah Djani, said on Tuesday the Security Council was “not in the position to take further action” on the US snapback bid against Iran.
An Iranian official says the European parties to the 2015 nuclear deal have put aside plans to implement the so-called snapback mechanism which allows for the re-imposition of UN sanctions on Iran.
