UNITED NATIONS, Sept. 19 (Xinhua) -- The Security Council on Friday failed to adopt a resolution that would continue to provide sanctions relief for Iran under the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. Under Resolution 2231, the UN sanctions in place before the adoption of Resolution 2231 would resume 30 days after the notification, unless the Security Council adopts a resolution to decide otherwise. China and Russia have tabled a draft resolution that would extend the JCPOA and Resolution 2231 for six months to allow time for diplomacy. Resolution 2231 expires on Oct. 18, 2025, after which time the Security Council would stop considering the Iran nuclear deal. The remaining nine Security Council members voted against it.
