UNITED NATIONS (AP) – Six world powers reached agreement Thursday on a package of new sanctions against Iran that include an embargo on arms exports and an asset freeze on more individuals and companies associated with Tehran’s nuclear and missile programs.
The draft resolution hammered out by the five permanent Security Council nations – the United States, Russia, China, Britain and France – and Germany will now be presented to the 10 non-permanent Security Council nations who have been left out of negotiations.
“We have an agreement and I will introduce a text on behalf of the six,” Britain’s U.N. Ambassador Emyr Jones Parry said after a meeting of ambassadors from the six countries.
