Overview

  • The Council is scheduled to vote on a draft from Russia and China that would extend sanctions relief for six months.
  • If the resolution fails, previously lifted UN measures are set to be restored on Sept. 27 at 8 p.m. ET.
  • Passage requires at least nine of 15 votes and no veto from the United States, the United Kingdom, or France.
  • The UK, France, and Germany have demanded IAEA inspector access, transparency on enriched uranium stockpiles, and an immediate return to negotiations as a path to avert reactivation.
  • Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian says Tehran is prepared for any scenario, as UNGA proceedings featured a combative speech by Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu that drew walkouts and criticism of recent Palestinian recognitions.
