UNSC to Vote Monday on Iran Nuclear Conclusion
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The United Nations Security Council scheduled a vote for first thing Monday morning on a resolution endorsing the conclusion of Iran nuclear talks.
The resolution was circulated to council members Wednesday by the United States. Members were also briefed by both Iran and the other countries that negotiated the landmark agreement on Iran's nuclear energy program.
With all five veto-wielding permanent members of the Security Council involved in the marathon Iran negotiations, the resolution's adoption Monday is almost certain, the Associated Press reported.
Monday's vote would come as Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany) concluded more than two weeks of intensive talks over Tehran's peaceful nuclear program in the Austrian capital of Vienna on July 14.
The negotiating parties reached a conclusion over the text of a comprehensive 159-page deal on the nuclear issue after 22 months of talks.
