UK, France, Germany seek UN probe of Russia’s alleged use of Iranian drones

WASHINGTON, 22 October 2022, (TON): Britain, France and Germany on Friday called for a United Nations probe of accusations Russia has used Iranian-origin drones to attack Ukraine, allegedly violating a UN Security Council Resolution.
In a letter signed by their UN envoys and seen by Reuters, the three backed Ukraine’s call for such a probe, arguing the drone use breached UN Security Council Resolution 2231 endorsing the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.
Separately, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Washington still believes diplomacy was the best way to rein in Tehran’s nuclear program but saw no chance “in this moment” to revive the 2015 deal because of Iran raising “extraneous” issues.
He said at a news conference “With or without a deal we will continue to take every step necessary to deal with Iran’s activities, Iran’s aggression, whether it’s in the Middle East or beyond."
