NEW YORK - China rejected on Thursday a planned push by the United States to extend a United Nations arms embargo on Iran and, if that fails, Washington's assertion that it could trigger a return of all sanctions on Tehran at the U.N. Security Council.
China's mission to the United Nations in New York said that by quitting the Iran nuclear deal in 2018, Washington had"failed to meet its obligations" under a 2015 Security Council resolution that enshrined the agreement. China's U.N. mission posted on Twitter that the United States"has no right to extend an arms embargo on Iran, let alone to trigger snapback. Maintaining JCPOA is the only right way moving forward."Hook said that the United States has drafted a Security Council resolution to extend the arms embargo on Iran. A resolution needs nine yes votes and no vetoes by Russia, China, the United States, France or Britain to be adopted.
U.S. President Donald Trump branded the accord from Barack Obama's presidency as"the worst deal ever." Washington argues it can trigger a return of U.N. sanctions because the Security Council resolution still names the U.S. as a participant.
