Speaking at the 75th session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA), at the high-level meeting to commemorate the seventy-fifth anniversary of the United Nations, Merkel said that the UN “must develop further in order to be able to cope with the global challenges of the 21st century.” Merkel stressed that the interests of individual member states can stand in the way of the UN system’s proper functioning. “Our well-being […]
– …from PressTV, Tehran – News Review video below [ Editor’s Note: Rouhani has recently played a card by letting the IAEA look at a couple of new Iranian sites. This is supposed to show Iran’s flexibility, and theoretically focus some attention on the fact that the IAEA has yet to inspect a single Israeli nuclear site, yet it continues on as a full voting member of the Agency. That this ‘imbalanced situation’ never becomes a political issue in US, UK or EU elections advertises the subservience of all to Israeli infiltration and intimidation, despite the massive amount of money all […]
US efforts to trigger the return of UN sanctions on Iran have been dismissed by the president of the Security Council, who cited a lack of consensus among the body’s 15 members to enact such measures. Speaking during a council meeting on the Middle East on Tuesday, the current president – Indonesia’s UN ambassador – responded to questions from Russia and China on the Iran sanctions issue to say that the body is “not in the position to take further action” on the ‘snap back’ request. Responding to the council president’s comments on Tuesday, US Ambassador to the UN Kelly Craft […]
US State Secretary Mike Pompeo has faced ridicule online after he brushed off opposition from other UNSC members to snapback sanctions the US wants to hit Iran with, while saying the punitive measures would be “multilateral.” “If at any time the United States believes Iran has failed to meet its commitments, no other state can block our ability to snap back those multilateral sanctions,” Pompeo declared in a statement, posted by his official Twitter account on Sunday evening. The US top diplomat referred to the avalanche of sanctions Washington has been hellbent on slapping on Tehran after the United Nations Security […]
On Friday, the United Nations Security Council rejected a draft resolution submitted by the United States to indefinitely extend the arms embargo on Iran, originally envisioned by the Iran nuclear deal ahead of its expiration in October, saying the draft did not obtain the necessary support to be adopted. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday described the UN Security Council’s decision to not allow an extension of the arms embargo on Iran as “scandalous”, adding that Tel Aviv will continue to cooperate closely with the United States to repel what he describes as “Iranian aggression”. “The decision of the UN […]
The US resolution, envisaging an extension of an arms embargo against Iran, was rejected by the UN Security Council, drawing disappointment from Washington, as the Trump administration claimed that it would nonetheless continue its attempts to prevent Iran from buying and selling weapons on the international market. US Republican Senator Lindsey Graham denounced the UN Security Council rejection of an extension of the Iran arms embargo, saying that the UN made a “major mistake”. He also asserted that the failure to extend the embargo “makes a major conflict with Iran much more likely”. “The United Nations Security Council overwhelmingly rejected an […]
TRIPOLI (Sputnik) – The United Nations Security Council has approved a request by the Tripoli-based Libyan Government of National Accord (GNA) to hold a session of the Sanctions Committee at the end of July over violations of the arms embargo imposed on the country, Libya’s permanent representative to the UN, Taher El-Sonni, said on Thursday. “The Security Council, chaired by Germany with support of a number of countries, follows up Libya’s request to organize a special hearing of the Sanctions Committee And the Panel of Experts,” El-Sonni wrote on Twitter. The session is scheduled to be held at the end of […]
by Jim W. Dean, VT Editor, …with PressTV, Tehran [ Editor’s Note: Syria held the line on having only one crossing where aid comes in, so that will be much easier to monitor Turkey and the jihadis smuggling combat supplies under UN cover. It will be in the Kurdish region where supplies are needed the most, as Turkish militant proxies have been looting the villages and burning their crops. This is a war crime of course, but no one is lifting a finger to see that Erdogan is charged. Turkey has its own crossings in Idlib, where it trucks in whatever […]
UNITED NATIONS (Sputnik) – The UN Security Council (UNSC) has adopted a resolution to extend the work of one Syria-Turkey cross-border point for one year in order to ensure humanitarian aid deliveries to Syria, German Ambassador to the United Nations Christoph Heusgen has announced. On Friday, the UN mandates for the Bab al-Hawa and Bab al-Salam crossings from Turkey expired. Belgium and Germany initially insisted that the mandates for both of the crossings be extended, but then agreed with Russia’s position to continue the work of the Bab al-Hawa crossing alone (until 10 July 2021). “Twelve members of the Security Council […]

The UN Security Council has failed to adopt a Russian-drafted resolution that seeks to authorise the cross-border humanitarian aid delivery mechanism in northwestern Syria from Turkey through one crossing for a year. In January, the Security Council reduced the number of border crossings from the initial four, including al-Ramtha from Jordan and al-Yarubiyah from Iraq, to only two checkpoints from Turkey. The current mandate of the […]
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Tuesday urged the UN Security Council to extend an arms embargo on Tehran. “Iran will hold a sword of Damocles over the economic stability of the Middle East, endangering nations like Russia and China that rely on stable energy prices,” Pompeo told the virtual session, referencing two opponents of prolonging the embargo. The US is adamant about prolonging the ban on conventional arms sales to its adversary which expires in October and has threatened to use a disputed legal move to force a return of UN sanctions on Iran, AFP said. Iran denies arming […]

India was the lone candidate from the Asia-Pacific bloc and received the support of China and Pakistan, notwithstanding tensions with them. The 55-member Asia-Pacific grouping had unanimously […]
BEIJING (Sputnik) – The United States has unilaterally withdrawn from the Iran nuclear deal and has no right to demand that the United Nations Security Council extend the arms embargo on the Islamic republic, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has said in a letter to the UN secretary-general. “Wang Yi: All provisions of #UNSCR2231, including arms-related arrangements, should be earnestly implemented[;] US is no longer #JCPOA participant, and has no right to demand #UNSC invoke a snap-back[;] The only way to move forward is to effectively safeguard & implement JCPOA”, China’s Permanent Mission to the UN wrote on Twitter, quoting Wang’s […]
