N. Restrictions in place for the 1st time in over a decade under an agreement negotiated by the 5 permanent members of the Security Council and germany aimed at stopping iran from developing Nuclear Weapons the 13 year old ban on conventional weapons sales is due to expire in october russia and china accusing the us of undermining the deal had threatened to veto the resolution but didnt have to the Dominican Republic was the only other countries to vote for it well its a diplomatic test of the it just demonstrates that President Trump and his team are not only bad at the strategy of approaching iran theyre bad at just the day to day tactics of diplomacy it is unconscionable that they couldnt round up more than one vote for a resolution like this the u.
