Iran Press/Iran news: Speaking at a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, Rouhani congratulated the Iranian nation on lifting the oppressive arms embargo on October 18th.
With the people’s resistance and the Iranian diplomats’ efforts, he said, the 10-year oppressive embargo will be lifted despite the US’ 4-year efforts.
The embargo is set to be expired as part of the terms under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), a nuclear deal signed between Iran and other countries in Vienna in 2015.
Earlier this year, the US presented the United Nations Security Council with a draft resolution seeking to extend the arms embargo. Washington made the move even as it had quit the JCPOA in 2018.
The US draft was met with an almost across-the-board opposition at the Security Council, where only the Dominican Republic voted in favor.
