The United Nations Security Council failed to adopt a U.S. resolution to extend arms embargo on Iran which will expire in October. The United States vowed to take action to extend the embargo to prevent Iran from purchasing and selling weapons to terrorist organizations across the Middle East.<\/p>\n

The U.N. Security Council met on Thursday evening to vote on a U.S. resolution that would indefinitely extend the U.N. arms embargo on Iran.<\/p>\n

Voting was conducted via email due to the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus<\/a>, pandemic.<\/p>\n

In the results announced on Friday<\/a> evening, the resolution failed to garner a minimum of nine<\/a> \u201cyes\u201d votes in the 15-member Security Council. China and Russia opposed extending the weapons ban, eleven members abstained, including France, Germany, and Britain, while Washington and the Dominican Republic were the only yes votes, according to Reuters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The U.N. Security Council failed \u201dto uphold its fundamental mission \u2026 of maintaining international peace and security,\u201d U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt rejected a reasonable resolution to extend the 13-year old arms embargo on Iran and paved the way for the worlds leading state sponsor of terrorism to buy and sell conventional weapons without specific U.N. restrictions in place for the first time in over a decade,\u201d Pompeo said in the statement.<\/p>\n

Many Middle East countries, including the six members of the Gulf Cooperation Council and Israel, appealed directly to the Security Council to extend the arms embargo on Iran, but their requests were rejected, according to the statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese countries know Iran will spread even greater chaos and destruction if the embargo expires, but the Security Council chose to ignore them,\u201d Pompeo said in the statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe United States will never abandon our friends in the region who expected more from the Security Council,\u201d Pompeo said.<\/p>\n

Pompeo said in Vienna on Friday<\/a>, where he met with the U.N. nuclear watchdogs head, Rafael Grossi, and with senior Austrian officials that allowing this arms embargo to expire on October can also pose a threat to the \u201cEuropean people\u201d as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cant allow the worlds biggest state sponsor of terrorism to buy and sell weapons. I mean, thats just nuts,\u201d Pompeo said at a joint press conference<\/a> in Vienna.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesnt make sense for the European people either, \u2026 and we think anybody thats within missile range will be at greater risk because of the air defense systems, for example, that the Iranians will be able to purchase if this arms embargo expires on October 18th,\u201d Pompeo said.<\/p>\n
