Pompeo, who addressed the 15 member nations of the U.N. Security Council on Thursday, reiterated that the Trump administration will continue its maximum pressure campaign in order to rein in Tehran.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo asserted Friday that Washington would enforce sweeping sanctions on Iran, even though the United Nations Security Council voted to not extend an arms embargo on the rogue regime.

"I have not had a single world leader or one of my counterparts tell me that they think it makes any sense at all for the Iranians to be able to purchase and sell high-end weapons systems, which is what will happen on October 18th of this year, absent the actions that we took at the United Nations yesterday," Pompeo told CNBC.

Thirty days after Pompeo's notification, a range of U.N. sanctions will be restored, including the requirement that Iran suspends all enrichment-related activities. The "snap back" will also extend the 13-year arms embargo on Iran. Following Washington's exit from the nuclear deal, other signatories of the pact ⁠— France, Germany, the U.K., Russia and China ⁠— tried to keep the agreement alive.

If ever there was a reason to vote trump...this is the sole reason (the one and only reason). Hopefully Biden will keep Pompeo in and pressure on Iran when he wins. Trumps/Pompeos pushback against evil regimes is literally the one and only good thing about this administration.

Call me when the sanctions are restored.

Right on cue.

The US will be the only ones. The rest of the world is abiding by the JCPOA. dumbasspompeo

U.S. Asks U.N. Security Council to Restore Sanctions on IranThe United States has notified the United Nations Security Council of its intent to reimpose U.N. sanctions against Iran that were suspended as part of a 2015 international nuclear agreement, setting the stage for a legal dispute among member states. Changing the agreed upon rules when they feel like it Tell the bully no I'm thinking many people of color are tired of the European U.S. government always asking for sanctions against Iran. Since Iran gave the U.S. the boot and sent the Shah of Iran packing. Things have never been the same. The U.S. needs to stop crying and move-on. The US violated an international agreement. They owe billions to Iranian for damaging their economy and stealing oils on international waters. Maximum pressure policy only targets civilians in the pursuit of political aims and the world needs to stand up against bullying once
