On Iran Sanctions, US Demands Right to Act in Place of UN Security Council

On Iran Sanctions, US Demands Right to Act in Place of UN Security Council



In another extraordinary attack on international law, the US demands the right to reimpose sanctions on Iran whenever it chooses, disregarding Russia’s and China’s vetoes in the Security Council.
UN Security Council in Session
Back in April I wrote an article in which I said that a key reason for the sanctions the U.S. has imposed on Iran is to isolate Iran from its natural allies, China and Russia.
In that article I said that Iran is a natural part of the emerging Eurasian system led by China and Russia. 
I said that to the extent that the U.S. sees the process of Eurasian integration as an emerging threat to its global dominance, it will do whatever it can to isolate Iran from China and Russia, so as to slow down the process of Eurasian integration.
