The Security Council “rebuffed the US’ naked attempt to hijack its mandate”, wrote Zarif on Twitter. “Majority emphasised the need to fully implement the JCPOA [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action nuclear deal] and to refrain from interfering in internal affairs of others. Iran signed a nuclear deal with the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China in 2015, easing sanctions in exchange for curbs to the country’s nuclear programme. Trump must decide every few months whether to continue waiving nuclear sanctions, with the next deadline due on Friday.
