US to keep pushing for UN action on Iran despite Russian objection
Updated: UNITED NATIONS - The United States on Monday vowed to continue pushing for United Nations Security Council action on Iran@@@s recent ballistic missile tests and accused Russia of looking for reasons not to respond to Iranian violations of a UN resolution."This merits a council response," US Ambassador Samantha Power told reporters. "Russia seems to be lawyering its way to look for reasons not to act ... We@@@re not going to give up at the Security Council, no matter the quibbling that we heard today about this and that."Separately, Iran@@@s UN mission issued a statement to reporters opposing Monday@@@s Security Council discussion on the Iranian missile tests. It also said statements it made about Israel were merely a response to Israeli threats against Iran.ByREUTERS06/08/2025 07:57 AMByREUTERS06/08/2025 05:36 AMByMAARIV06/07/2025 02:33 PMByWALLA!06/07/2025 11:18 AMByREUTERS06/07/2025 03:25 AM
