The United States will not allow Iran to purchase conventional arms after a U.N. prohibition expires in October, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on April 29.
“We will work with the U.N. Security Council to extend that prohibition on those arms sales. And then in the event we can’t get anyone else to act, the United States is evaluating every possibility about how we might do that,” Pompeo said at a press briefing.
