Pompeo: UN can't 'reward' Iran by lifting arms embargo

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo urged United Nations members on Wednesday to maintain an arms embargo against Iran that is scheduled to lapse in 2020 and warned that everyone’s safety is at risk if it’s allowed to expire.

“We risk the security of our people if Iran continues stocking up on ballistic missiles,” Pompeo told the United Nations Security Council in New York. “The council must address these malign activities. It cannot reward Iran by lifting the arms embargo.”
