UN Security Council to vote Monday morning on Iran deal

The deal, reached with six world powers in Vienna on Tuesday, will begin to be implemented by November. The US will most likely redouble its efforts to defend Israel from attacks at the U.N.to counter Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s claims of betrayal over the Iran deal.

“The agreement is concluded”, a diplomat close to the discussions said on Tuesday in the Austrian capital, where a final ministerial meeting between Iran and the world powers was under way to adopt the deal.

Once the UN Security Council resolution is agreed, that will start the clock ticking on the first deadline known as Adoption Day, some 90 days after the United Nations endorses the agreement.

The resolution was submitted Wednesday on behalf of the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, China, France, Germany and the European Union, each a participant in the talks with Iran.

He said proper consideration should be given to the 10 elected council members who were not part of the nuclear negotiations to review and understand the text, adding, it is “a long resolution; it is a very detailed resolution“.

If a protest is made via the joint commission, then the UN Security Council would have to vote on whether to continue the sanctions lifting. If such a resolution has not been adopted within 30 days of the council receiving the complaint of a breach, then the sanctions contained in all previous United Nations resolutions would be re-imposed, unless the council decided otherwise.

The USA official said that the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council have agreed to adopt a new resolution after 10 years that would extend for another five years the mechanism allowing sanctions to be reimposed.

About that possibility, Power said the accord establishes that sanctions would “snap back” in case Iran fails to comply.
