The UN Security Council rejected a Chinese and Russian attempt to delay sanctions on Iran regarding its nuclear program. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian criticized the decision as 'unfair, unjust and illegal.' The resolution failed to gain necessary support, leading to sanctions that will freeze Iranian assets and penalize missile development. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi accused the US and E3 of betraying diplomacy. Despite ongoing negotiations, no agreement was reached, and tensions between Iran and the West are expected to escalate.
