MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 29th December, 2018) The United States may try to impose additional restrictions on Iran via the UN Security Council, but there are no grounds for that, Russia's Ambassador to the UN Vassily Nebenzia told Sputnik.
"We do not exclude the possibility that the United States will try to do this [introduce a new resolution] to the Security Council," the diplomat said.
Nebenzia clarified that a new resolution would allow Washington to shift the emphasis and justify the fact that it was the United States who had violated resolution 2231 and Article 25 of the UN Charter by exiting from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
"On my part, I would like to stress that so far no one has presented to the Security Council any significant facts of the so-called Iranian violations. Therefore, we see no reason even to start a theoretical discussion on imposing restrictive measures against Tehran," the envoy added.
