Russia and China oppose US sanctions team extension
The use of Russia and China’s veto power in the United Nations Security Council to block a US draft resolution extending the mandate of the Iran sanctions expert team until September 2027 was condemned. The resolution aimed to require recommendations and updates regarding the implementation of sanctions and monitoring Iranian activities, including missile and ballistic programs. The United States argued that the veto hampers efforts to uncover Iran’s violations and lacks an independent basis, creating a gap in the sanctions oversight mechanism. On the operational front, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) destroyed a US MQ-9 drone near Hengam Island, while the Strait of Hormuz saw a drop in the number of passing ships from 12 to just 3 in a single day.
