NEW YORK: The United States was further isolated on Friday over its bid to reimpose international sanctions on Iran with 13 countries on the 15-member UN Security Council expressing their opposition, arguing that Washington's move is void given it is using a process agreed under a nuclear deal that it quit two years ago.
Dominican Republic has not yet written to the council to state its position on the sanctions snapback push. The United States would be able to veto this, giving it a cleaner argument that sanctions on Iran have to be reimposed. "Faced with this very strong view of a majority of Security Council members that the snapback process has not been triggered, as the presidency they are not bound to introduce the draft resolution," said a UN Security Council diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity.
