Indonesia's statement was supported by nearly all UN Security Council members.

The US’s UN mission said UNSC resolutions give the US a legal basis for demanding a “snap back” of sanctions on Iran.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Tuesday said Iran is open to negotiation with the US if Washington returns to the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action agreement, pointing out that US efforts to pressure Iran have completely failed.
