Hook: Iran arms embargo shouldn’t have fixed end date
United Nations’ arms embargo on Iran shouldn’t have a specified date, United States’ Special Representative for Iran Brian Hook said on Tuesday during an online event organized by Council on Foreign Relations.
“We think the right policy is to have an arms embargo in place that doesn’t have a definite date fixed,” Hook asserted touching on the fact that the current nuclear deal, signed in 2015, will expire in October. US had already withdrawn from the agreement in 2018 which allowed them to reintroduce sanctions on Iran’s oil sector.
As he expressed his wish to meet with Iranian officials for an in-person discussion, he noted that he had tried to do the same thing in December 2019, but his diplomatic counterparts had declined.
