Iran's Envoy to Russia Says China, Russia Vetoes on Anti-Iran Resolution Will Be "Recorded in History"

Iran's ambassador to Russia, Kazem Jalali, said that Washington had failed in its attempt to push an anti-Iran resolution through the United Nations Security Council, according to a report by Iran's state news agency IRNA published from Moscow.

Jalali praised Russia and China for what he described as decisive support for Iran in blocking the measure, IRNA reported. The ambassador said the vetoes cast by the two permanent Security Council members would "be recorded in history," according to the report.

IRNA's report did not provide further details on the specific content of the draft resolution, the date of the vote, or the exact wording used by the United States in bringing the measure before the Council.

Russia and China both hold veto power as permanent members of the UN Security Council, allowing either country to block resolutions regardless of support from other members.

IRNA did not immediately provide additional comment from Russian, Chinese, or US officials regarding the vote or Jalali's remarks. This report is based solely on the IRNA account and could not be independently verified.
