U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo urged the U.N. Security Council on Tuesday to extend a U.N. arms embargo against Tehran that expires in October and to reject “extortion diplomacy.” He called Iran “the world’s most heinous terrorist regime.”
If the United Nations fails to extend the arms embargo, Iran will be free to purchase Russian fighter jets that could strike targets in cities like Riyadh, New Delhi, Rome, and Warsaw, Pompeo told the U.N. Security Council on June 30.
