U.S. Aims To Extend U.N. Arms Embargo On Iran

The video discusses the indefinite embargo on Iran, which prevents the country from buying and selling conventional weapons. This embargo is set to expire in October under the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.

The US argues that lifting the embargo would undermine global security, while Iran's foreign minister deems the resolution illegal.
