The U.N. Security Council blessed the nuclear deal in Resolution 2231, and as part of that, the body agreed to lift a U.N. embargo on Iran purchasing or selling conventional weapons, such as tanks, attack helicopters, or certain missiles, on October 18, 2020."We're not going to let that happen," Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Wednesday."In the event that we can't get anyone else to act, the United States is evaluating every possibility about how we might do that.

"It's just there in the language. There's nothing magic about this. Someone suggested it's fancy lawyering -- it's just readin'," Pompeo told reporters Wednesday. "This would be incredibly messy. You'd have a lot of argument among the Security Council on legal interpretations and the real nervousness of that precedent setting a real divide among U.N. members," the European diplomat told ABC News.
