UNSC rejects US demand to impose 'snapback' sanctions on Iran

Image
The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on Tuesday rejected United States bid to reimpose international sanctions on Iran, saying that it was "not in a position to take further action". The remarks came from Indonesian ambassador Dian Triansyah Djani in a video conference on the Middle East, he cited the lack of consensus in the UN's highest body on the US strategy as the main reason. The Trump administration accuses Tehran of failing to comply with the terms of the historic 2015 Iran nuclear deal and is demanding the Security Council reimpose sanctions on the Islamic Republic. Washington insists on its legal right to trigger the disputed procedure, called "snapback" — despite pulling out of the deal two years ago. The move threatens to torpedo the Iran accord and plunge the Council into crisis while widening the gulf between the US and almost every other member on Iran policy. Thirteen of the 15 Council members had written to the Indonesian pre...

'True justice awaits': Father of youngest New Zealand mosque victim tells shooter

Image
WELLINGTON: The father of the youngest victim in the New Zealand mosque shootings, slain three-year-old Mucaad Ibrahim, told Brenton Tarrant that there was no forgiveness and “true justice” awaited him in the next life that would be more severe than prison. “You have killed my son and to me, it is as if you have killed the whole of New Zealand,” Aden Ibrahim Diriye said during a sentencing hearing for Tarrant on Wednesday. “Know that true justice is waiting for you in the next life and that will be far more severe. I will never forgive you for what you have done,” Diriye told the High Court in Christchurch. Gunman Tarrant, a 29-year-old Australian, is scheduled to be sentenced this week after pleading guilty to 51 murders, 40 attempted murders, and one charge of committing a terrorist act during the 2019 shooting rampage in the city of Christchurch which he live-streamed on Facebook. A murder conviction carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison. The judge can impose a ...
