US Expands Iran Sanctions to Rail, Industry, and Russia-Linked Shadow Banking
gCaptainLO·US · IR · RU·about 4 hours ago
The UN General Assembly convened to discuss the Security Council veto by China and Russia, which blocked a US-backed resolution to extend the mandate of a panel of experts monitoring Iran's nuclear facilities. This marks a continued pattern of P5 deadlock over Iran sanctions, with the veto highlighting deepening divisions between Western powers and China/Russia. The outcome of the debate is uncertain, but it signals potential erosion of multilateral sanctions enforcement on Iran's nuclear program.
