Russian Ambassador to the United Nations Vasily Nebenzya said on Tuesday that Moscow would block the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) from taking any action against Iran within the framework of the sanctions committee.
"Our country will not allow the Council, under the guise of this body, to adopt any decisions that impose restrictions on member states," Nebenzya clarified at a UNSC meeting. The sanctions panel oversees measures against Iran imposed by the UNSC Resolution 1737 in 2006, over failing to halt its nuclear enrichment program.
The envoy declared that Moscow considers the committee ceased to exist in 2015 after the adoption of a new resolution repealing earlier nuclear-related restrictions. He added that the UNSC violated this decision reached after the United Kingdom, Germany, Russia, China, and the United States signed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) to limit Tehran's nuclear ambitions.
