Iran

A draft UN resolution calls for new sanctions against Qods Force and a top Iranian bank as well as “restraint” and “vigilance” on the supply, sale, or transfer of arms to Iran. Iran seeks to build 50,000 nuclear centrifuges in five years. Israel’s Prime Minister said Iran is still a nuclear threat. China inked a $2 billion oil deal.
