Dated the day this page was built. The link always leads to this event, even after the stories are regrouped.
Russia and China have vetoed a United States-backed resolution at the United Nations Security Council that would have authorised UN experts to keep monitoring sanctions on Iran.
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
“Iran deeply appreciates Russia and China for their consistent and principled positions and decisive actions today,” it said in a post on X, adding that they “prevented yet another cynical attempt by the United States and its allies to abuse the Security Council for their political purposes”.
The United States drafted a resolution to extend the UN expert panel's mandate for a year, coming as America also pursues a wider campaign to isolate Tehran from its remaining economic partners as the more than six-month-old war in Iran has hit a stalemate.
Since Israel and the U.S. struck Iran's nuclear sites in June 2025, UN nuclear inspectors have been unable to verify the status of Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium.
In Mali, sanctions were terminated, and Locetta said that in Yemen and the Central African Republic expert appointments have been delayed or refused.
Analysis
