UNITED NATIONS - The United States on Wednesday circulated a draft resolution to the UN Security Council that would endorse the Iran nuclear deal and end targeted sanctions but retain an arms embargo and ballistic missile technology ban ahead of a likely vote next week, diplomats said.
US Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power briefed the 15-member council on the draft document behind closed doors, said diplomats, speaking on condition of anonymity.
"Next week the UN Security Council will recognize the enrichment program of a developing country," Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif was quoted as saying by the state news agency IRNA upon arrival at Tehran airport.
"Our measures will start when all sanctions are lifted. We hope that more or less within four months measures taken by both sides show results and implementation of the deal begins."
