UNITED NATIONS (AN) — The signatories to the Iran nuclear deal allowed a U.N. Security Council-imposed embargo on arms trade with the nation and some travel bans to expire as planned on Sunday despite U.S. objections it should remain in place.
The council imposed a partial embargo on the export of nuclear-related technology to Iran in 2006, then added an embargo on arms exports from Iran in 2007. The council's embargo on the export of most major conventional weapons to Iran followed in 2010, and was amended in 2015 to allow specific exemptions.
