The U.N. Security Council’s president on Tuesday attempted to dismiss a U.S. move to “snapback” all U.N. sanctions on Iran — a denial that led a furious U.N. Ambassador Kelly Craft to accuse the Council of “standing in the company of terrorists.”
Dian Triansyah Djani, who as Indonesia’s ambassador holds the rotating presidency for August, said that the Council would not be taking up the U.S. request, after objections from Russia, China and other members.
The U.S. Mission also dismissed the idea that it would have any effect on the American move — a view likely to be challenged by other countries.
