The US can’t demand extension of the arms embargo against Iran, as are no longer members of the Iranian nuclear deal. This was stated by Russia’s permanent representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzia at the ongoing format video press conference with UN accredited journalists.
"I don’t see any reason for the imposition of an arms embargo on Iran, he said. Technically it was not an embargo, but a certain quota for the purchase. This restriction will expire on October 18 and the point. For us it is clear".
"Exactly two years ago, 8 may 2018, the U.S. proudly announced that they come out of the Joint comprehensive plan of action on Iran’s nuclear program (SVPD) and closed the door behind him. Now they are knocking at the door, saying "wait, we forgot to do in SVPD one thing. We’ll do it again and leave. It’s funny," said a senior diplomat.
"to do something under JCPOA need to be a party to the AGREEMENT. The United States is not a party to it for two years" – he emphasized.
The newspaper the New York Times said April 26 that the United States intends to seek the adoption of UN security Council resolution calling for the preservation of the arms embargo against the Islamic Republic on the basis of the AGREEMENT. In accordance with the provisions of this document, which was signed on a permanent "five" the UN security Council and Germany with Iran in 2015, Tehran from October will be able to purchase weapons and military equipment from foreign suppliers.
The Russian foreign Ministry on 3 March issued a commentary which said that the question of extension of the arms embargo in the UN security Council is not.
