None of the UN Security Council member states have introduced a resolution to continue sanctions relief with respect to Iran after the expiration of the deadline to do so, UN Security Council president for the month of September Abdou Abarry told reporters on Tuesday (Sept 1).August 31 was the deadline to put forward a UN Security Council resolution to extend the sanctions relief with respect to Iran - ten days after the formal notification of Iran's significant non-performance with the 2015 nuclear agreement was sent by the United States.On August 20, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo sent a letter to the UN Security Council, then the Council’s President Dian Triansyah Djani requesting the invoking of the nuclear agreement’s snapback sanctions mechanism under UN Resolution 2231.Pompeo said the United States, a permanent member of the UN Security Council, will use its veto power to prevent such document from being adopted to extend sanctions relief.However, Djani said last week that he was not able to take further action regarding the United States’ attempt to re-impose all United Nations sanctions against Iran.The majority of the UN Security Council members, including Russia, China, France, Germany, South Africa and the United Kingdom, said they would not support the United States' move to snapback sanctions on Iran, since the United States unilaterally withdrew from the nuclear agreement in 2018//Sputnik
