China and Russia block UN Security Council proposal on Iran's nuclear program

China and Russia blocked a UN Security Council proposal regarding Iran's nuclear program, according to reports.

The move blocks a proposal that would have addressed Iran's nuclear activities. The Security Council has been divided on the issue, with the US and European powers pushing for increased pressure on Tehran, while Russia and China have consistently opposed additional sanctions. In June, Russia and China had vowed to block any UN Security Council sanctions renewal on Iran, as The Zioneer reported.
