US Request for Iran Sanctions Rejected

The Trump administration requested the United Nations to extend the economic sanctions on Iran. This request was rejected. The Guardian reported on this issue:

The US has suffered another humiliating diplomatic setback after the president of the UN security council rejected the Trump administration’s attempt to extend economic sanctions on Iran.

America was rebuffed last week when 13 countries on the security council argued that the US had no legal right to “snap back” sanctions because it had already walked out of the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran.
