U.S., Russia and China Clash at U.N. Over Iran’s Nuclear Program. The United States and its Western allies clashed with Russia and China at the United Nations over Iran’s nuclear ambitions. During a Security Council meeting, Washington pushed to revive sanctions oversight on Iran, while Moscow and Beijing tried unsuccessfully to block the discussion. U.S. envoy Mike Waltz accused Russia and China of protecting Tehran and undermining efforts to enforce an arms embargo and restrictions on missile technology. He also warned that Iran has enriched uranium to 60 percent—levels far above civilian needs—while limiting access for inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency. Russia rejected the accusations, saying the United States exaggerated the nuclear threat to justify its military campaign against Iran. China also criticized Washington, calling it the instigator of the nuclear crisis and accusing it of using force during ongoing diplomatic efforts. Meanwhile, Britain and France said renewed sanctions were justified because Iran has failed to address growing concerns over its nuclear program.
