Iran Press/America: Iran's Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the UN, Majid Takht-Ravanchi said: "What kind of policy is the policy that caused the US isolation and showing this isolation in the UN Security Council where even the US close partners left them alone?"
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is scheduled to arrive in New York on Thursday to meet with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
Washington will file its complaint against Iran to the UN Security Council on the same day; In the US complaint, Iran is accused of violating its obligations under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
"The United States should learn from a previous UN Security Council meeting where it could only urge the Dominican Republic accompany it," Takht-Ravanchi added.
Iran's ambassador and permanent representative to the United Nations called the imposition of various pressures and sanctions on the Iranian people the result of the White House policy, highlighting: "Whatever it is, it cannot be called diplomacy."
The US resolution obtained only two votes in favor – the United States and the Dominican Republic. Russia and China voted against the measure, and the other 11 council members including Britain, Germany, and France, the European allies of the United States, abstained.
