The arms embargo imposed on Iran ends on Sunday, as stipulated in the international resolution that approved the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and the “5 + 1” group.
Tehran views the end of the embargo as a political victory over Washington, which failed to extend it according to a UN Security Council resolution, while the United States said Iran will not resist its sanctions for a month or two after the US presidential elections. .
Following the end of the arms embargo imposed on Iran, the United Nations will begin at the end of the month to gradually ease the embargo that prevents Tehran from buying modern aircraft and weapons. Iran will also be able to buy and sell its weapons.
Last month, the United States failed to pass a draft resolution in the UN Security Council extending the arms embargo imposed on Iran, as Russia and China rejected the bill and the council’s overwhelming majority abstained from voting on it.
O’Brien’s Comments
On the other hand, US national security adviser Robert O’Brien said that Iran can withstand economic sanctions for a month or two after the US elections scheduled for less than two weeks, but that it will not withstand such pressures during 4 more years.
O’Brien added during an online interview hosted by the Aspen Foundation, that Iran would prefer to deal with a US administration other than the administration of President Donald Trump. He also believes that if President Trump wins, Iran will not bear the economic pain resulting from the US sanctions for 4 more years and therefore the Iranians will come to the dialogue table.
Today, Monday, Washington is preparing to receive a “historic defeat” with the lifting of the arms embargo imposed on # Iran In a few days, the United States has reached a stage of “madness” by imposing additional sanctions on Iranian banks last week.

The administration of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, accuses Iran of not fulfilling its obligations stipulated in the historic nuclear agreement that the main countries signed with them in 2015, so Washington called, accordingly, the Security Council re-impose all international sanctions that Iran suffered.
However, the vast majority of Security Council members (13 out of 15) believed that the United States lost the right to activate this mechanism in May 2018 when it withdrew from the agreement by Trump’s decision and unilaterally imposed economic sanctions on Iran.
Following failure
Following the failure of an effort to reinstate UN sanctions on Iran in the Security Council, Washington decided to activate a mechanism included in the Iranian nuclear deal, which provides for the reimposition of all United Nations sanctions that were lifted under of the agreement should a country decide that Tehran violated the requirements of the agreement, and this decision by the US means that the arms embargo The traditional regime imposed on Tehran will not expire in the middle of this month.
It should be noted that the Iranian nuclear deal aims to prevent Tehran from developing nuclear weapons in exchange for easing sanctions.
