Pompeo insists US to enforce 'UN' sanctions on Iran

Source: AFP

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo insisted Wednesday the United States will enforce new "UN" sanctions on Iran starting next week, despite overwhelming consensus that Washington is out of bounds.

"The United States will do what it always does. It will do its share as part of its responsibilities to enable peace, this time in the Middle East," Pompeo told a joint news conference with British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab.

"We'll do all the things we need to do to make sure that those sanctions are enforced," he said.

In case anyone is in the dark, the UN has already stated it will not reimpose the sanctions as 13 out of 15 member nations disagree. It needs authorization from a majority at least. Therefore, if the US attacks Iran, it is an illegal act of war.
