Iran Press/Iran News: "Confident that the Council will — again — reject this move," the ambassador and Permanent Representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations Majid Takht Ravanchi posted on his page on Twitter.
"Rebuffed by UNSC members, US was forced to retreat from its draft resolution on Iran arms embargo and proposed another version — also violating 2231 —Today," the Ambassador added.
The United States recently submitted a 13-page draft to the UN Security Council against Iran with the aim of extending the arms embargo on Iran. The sanctions are about to be lifted on October 18, 2020.
The draft calls for an extension of Iran's arms, which is to be lifted under the JCPOA agreement.
As the United States faced opposition from UN Security Council member states to approve its draft proposal, it was forced to amend it to four pages instead of 13.
The members of the Security Council have the time to comment on this until Wednesday, after which the voting process will likely take place on Thursday or Friday.
Russia and China have repeatedly stated they will oppose the US resolution.
