Here’s more on why the vote might have been delayed until Friday.

The Reuters news agency says the vote was delayed after Russia (also a veto power in the UN security council) and some other council members complained during closed-door talks about the amendments made to appease the US, according to diplomats.

But Reuters says Russia’s UN ambassador Vassily Nebenzia declined to speak to reporters after the meeting.
