The Trump administration plans to try to trigger a return of all U.N. sanctions on Iran after the Security Council rejected Washington’s bid to extend an arms embargo on the country. Here is a look at the events leading to this showdown

NEW YORK - U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration plans to try this week to trigger a return of all U.N. sanctions on Iran after the U.N. Security Council rejected Washington’s bid to extend an arms embargo on the country.

Even though the United States has withdrawn from the nuclear deal, Washington has threatened to use a provision in the agreement to trigger a return of all U.N. sanctions on Iran if the Security Council does not extend the arms embargo. After the United States quit the deal, it imposed strong unilateral sanctions. In response, Iran has breached parts of the nuclear pact.

It would reimpose the arms embargo, ban Iran from developing ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons and reimpose targeted sanctions on dozens of individuals and entities. Countries also would be urged to inspect shipments to and from Iran and authorized to seize any banned cargo.The United States would have to submit a complaint about Iran breaching the nuclear deal to the Security Council.

It's high time every country stand to develop its people and forget globalization.

Much of Trump’s financial power base comes out of the Republican Jewish Coalition. Reneging on the Iran deal, allowing illegal settlements, annexation, and capitol in Jerusalem, bought him favor.

The Trump Administration must be one of the first (certainly in living memory) to have made no attempt to improve matters globally. The US has always operated as a world leader - now it is just an introverted trouble maker trying to unsettle everything. God I hope Trump loses.

When will the U.S. and Iran get along with each other...
