NEW YORK (Reuters) - The United States streamlined its bid on Tuesday to get the U.N. Security Council to extend an arms embargo on Iran, a move that could win Washington more support in the 15-member body but is unlikely to overcome opposition by veto-powers Russia and China.
The new text, seen by Reuters, is just four paragraphs and would extend a weapons ban on Iran "until the Security Council decides otherwise," stating that is "essential to the maintenance of international peace and security."
