WASHINGTON - US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo warned Russia and China not to disregard the re-imposition of all United Nations sanctions on Iran, which President Donald Trump has directed him to trigger at the UN Security Council in New York on Thursday .
The nuclear deal between Iran, Russia, China, Germany, Britain, France and the United States aimed to prevent Teheran from developing nuclear weapons in return for sanctions relief.In response to what the United States calls its"maximum pressure" campaign of unilateral sanctions - a bid to get Iran to negotiate a new deal - Teheran has breached central limits of the 2015 pact, including on its stock of enriched uranium.
Given questions over the US move, diplomats said Russia, China and other countries are likely to simply ignore it and not reimpose the sanctions on Iran. "We have already done that, where we have seen any country violate ... the current American sanctions, we've held every nation accountable for that. We'll do the same thing with respect to the broader UN Security Council sanctions as well,"he said.
