UN to Vote on Iran Sanctions Panel
France announced the UN Security Council will vote this month on renewing a panel monitoring Iran sanctions. The move sets up a potential showdown with Russia and China.
France will bring a contentious UN Security Council vote this month to renew the mandate of a panel monitoring sanctions on Iran, risking a direct veto showdown. The vote is scheduled for September 17 during the annual UN General Assembly meeting. The diplomatic clash follows the restoration of international sanctions last year over non-compliance with nuclear commitments.
