The United States has put forward a resolution to extend the embargo on conventional weapons but faces opposition from veto-wielding Russia and China, which stand to win contracts with Tehran.
"Our focus now is to work with Security Council to pass this resolution," Pompeo told reporters.
"But, in the event it doesn't happen, we remind the world that the Obama administration's officials said very clear(ly) that the United States has the unilateral ability to snap back sanctions into place," he said, confirming US intentions.
Snapback sanctions? Good luck with that.
I have serious doubts about whether they are legal at all, and don't think Russia and China will accept them without a fight.
