Iran Press/ Iran News: Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Abbas Mousavi said in response to the US efforts to exert pressure on other countries for extending Iran’s arms embargo: "The international community does not give in to the bullying and illegitimate demands of the United States, and Washington just pursues a futile try".
By the virtue of the UNSC resolution No.2231, the embargo on arms sales to Iran will be lifted on October 18, 2020.
Exiting JCPOA on May 8, 2018, the US President Donald Trump reinstated the nuclear sanctions against Iran for two times, and through threatening and enticing other countries and economic enterprises, it prevented the implementation of JCPOA by other partners of the international agreement.
Doing so, the US government, on the one hand, seeks to turn JCPOA into a non-binding treaty for the other parties remaining in the agreement, and on the other hand, exploit it as a success in its failed foreign policy; during the coming US presidential elections.
The US State Department's Special Envoy for Iran, Brian Hook, recently warned Russia and China that they would be isolated in the Security Council if they continued their efforts to prevent the extension of the arms embargo on Iran.
To conclude, it could be said that conventional military purchases are an inalienable right of every country, including Iran, and the US government cannot prevent them with sanctions and lies, and the policy of arms embargo will not be of any benefit to the United States, because Iran has played a key role in defeating Deash terrorist group during the arms embargo, reviving deterrence against the US after a missile strike on the Ain al-Assad base, and maintaining military balances in the region, and from now on, it will continue to strongly play the same role upgrade the capabilities.
