Russia says it no longer needs UN okay for missile cooperation with Iran

Moscow, IRNA – Russia said its missile cooperation with Iran no longer falls under a UN Security Council resolution on Iran’s missile program as it expired on Wednesday.

"Supplies to and from Iran of products falling under the Missile Technology Control Regime no longer require prior approval by the UN Security Council," Russia's foreign ministry said in a statement on Tuesday.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry has also issued a statement on Wednesday which read: “As of today, 18 October 2023, the last part of unjustly imposed restrictions by the United Nations Security Council on missile-related activities and its associated services and technology to/from the Islamic Republic of Iran, including asset freeze and financial restrictions on certain Iranian individuals and entities, terminated unconditionally. According to the provisions of 2231 UNSCR, termination of these restrictions, does not require any resolution, statement or any other action in the context of the UNSC and occurred automatically.”

The statement added that any more restrictions imposed on the country’s missile program by other entities and governments would be a violation of UN resolutions.
