The UN Security Council convened for a third time this year to discuss the Iranian nuclear program, but the session ended without reaching any resolution. Russia and China pushed for a procedural vote, which passed with 11 votes in favor, two against (Russia and China), and two abstentions (Pakistan and Somalia). This mirrors previous outcomes in March and June. Russia and China claim that Resolution 2231, which governed the Council’s handling of the Iranian nuclear issue, officially expired on 18 October 2025, meaning the matter should no longer be on the Council’s agenda—a stance supported by Iran itself. Meanwhile, the United States and its Western allies reiterated concerns over Iran’s nuclear activities and military capabilities. The meeting ultimately concluded without any formal decisions or resolutions.
