Russia has vowed to veto any future attempts by the United Nations to hit Iran with new sanctions, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said Friday. Russia carries a veto as a permanent member of the Security Council and can block any proposal put forward.
The Russian warning adds another layer of intrigue as Congress decides whether it should agree to the Iran nuclear deal that the Obama administration helped broker last month. Congress is likely to reject the deal, but possibly not with enough votes to beat the expected presidential veto.
