US and Russia Clash in UN Security Council Debate on Israel-Gaza War

The United States has removed any mention of Iran from a draft resolution on the Israel-Hamas war that was expected to be voted on at the United Nations Security Council. The original draft had called on Iran to stop funding terror groups, but the latest version, which is still being negotiated, does not mention Iran. The U.S. mission to the U.N. blamed Russia for Iran's omission, stating that Russia insisted on removing references to Iran. However, the draft resolution still includes strong language that applies directly to Iran, including calls to suppress financing of Hamas and prevent the export of arms to Hamas.
