Russia and China Veto US-Led Effort to Extend UN Monitoring of Iran Sanctions Russia and China vetoed a US-drafted UN Security Council resolution that would have extended the mandate of an expert panel monitoring international sanctions on Iran for another year. The resolution received 11 votes in favor, two against and two abstentions, but failed because Russia and China are permanent Security Council members with veto power. The panel’s mandate is set to expire later this month.
