Russia, China Block US UNSC Plan Over Iran Sanctions Dispute
•The US Presidency's monthly Programme of Work for the UN Security Council could not be adopted.
•Russia and China objected to the US-drafted plan due to a proposed briefing on the 1737 Sanctions Committee concerning Iran.
•Russia stated the objection was because the US plan included a briefing on sanctions allegedly resumed in September 2025 via the "snapback" mechanism.
•Russia and China dispute the validity of the "snapback" mechanism invoked by UK, France, and Germany.
•The US released its own "Plan of Work" after the failure to adopt the official program; a press conference was canceled.
