France Pushes UN Vote on Iran Sanctions | Spokane News

France is set to push for a pivotal UN Security Council vote this month to renew the mandate of the sanctions monitoring panel on Iran — a move that could ignite a diplomatic showdown with Russia and China, who oppose the oversight and claim the council’s authority has expired. The vote, scheduled for September 17th, comes as tensions simmer over Iran’s uranium enrichment activities and its alleged non-compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal, which triggered a “snapback” of sanctions last year by Britain, France, and Germany. With world leaders converging at the UN General Assembly in late September, the outcome will be closely watched as a bellwether for global nuclear diplomacy.
