Iran denies seeking nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n<p>This included the return of an independent \u200cpanel of experts to \u200cmonitor and report to the 15-member \u200cSecurity \u2060Council on violations and \u2060recommend further action. However, the council has been operating without a panel of experts on Iran for the past year because it has been unable to agree on their appointment, a move that must be done by consensus.<\/p>\n<p>Russia and China then vetoed on Thursday a resolution that would have extended \u2060the mandate for the independent monitoring of sanctions. Eleven \u200ccouncil members voted in \u200cfavor, while Pakistan and Somalia abstained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithout an independent panel of experts, this \u200ccouncil loses its principal source of impartial, evidence-based reporting \u200con sanctions violations, creating a monitoring gap that only benefits the Iranian regime and those who profit from evading those measures,\u201d Deputy US Ambassador Jennifer Locetta told the council after the vote.<\/p>\n<p>The United States and \u200cIsrael went to war with Iran seven months ago, arguing that their aim was to \u2060stop Tehran \u2060from developing a nuclear weapon. Trump withdrew the United States from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal in 2018 during his first term in office, describing the pact as \u201cthe worst deal ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Russia and China accused their Western counterparts of politicizing the Security Council on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe strongly urge Western colleagues to stop their very dangerous actions on the Iran front, which threaten further complication of settling of the crisis in the Arabian Gulf,\u201d Russia\u2019s UN Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia told the Security Council. \u201cThe only way to resolve disagreements and to alleviate concerns &#8230; pertaining to the Iranian nuclear program is through political and diplomatic efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>self.__next_f.push([1,\"10:I[67601,[\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/26feds4rxab-x.js\\\"],\\\"WebVitalsReporter\\\"]\\n11:I[39683,[\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/26feds4rxab-x.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/145oieyucf7xw.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/2cvdaqdj6b3le.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/0wdohbbl64rk3.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/0ga9k6tk8l5i2.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/04hvlg7gpzexw.js\\\"],\\\"SearchForm\\\"]\\n12:I[22016,[\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/26feds4rxab-x.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/145oieyucf7xw.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/2cvdaqdj6b3le.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/0wdohbbl64rk3.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/0ga9k6tk8l5i2.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/2ps6hgji9h3c_.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/3i8gsqzt-9hft.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/1twczkb2tn50j.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/1krl3vx59vk3v.js\\\"],\\\"\\\"]\\n13:I[79520,[\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/26feds4rxab-x.js\\\"],\\\"\\\"]\\n14:I[32700,[\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/26feds4rxab-x.js\\\"],\\\"ChartbeatTracker\\\"]\\n2:[\\\"$\\\",\\\"html\\\",null,{\\\"lang\\\":\\\"en\\\",\\\"dir\\\":\\\"ltr\\\",\\\"className\\\":\\\"playfair_9b22208d-module__j_-Mhq__className
