EghtesadOnline: Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif rejected the European countries’ offers of compromise on the complete removal of the United Nations arms embargo on Iran as required by the 2015 nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.

EghtesadOnline: Iran will meet its weaponry needs after the United Nations arms embargo expires later this month and no country can prevent Tehran from exercising its right under the UN resolution, a senior diplomat said.

EghtesadOnline: The United Nations Security Council is expected to roundly reject the US resolution to extend Iran’s arms embargo, according to UN diplomats.

EghtesadOnline: Europeans share the same views as the United States about the extension of Iran’s arms embargo, despite their claim of remaining fully committed to the agreement, an analyst said.

EghtesadOnline: Iran’s UN ambassador said the US call for an extension of the United Nations Security Council's arms embargo on Tehran lacks legal standing in international law.
