The arms embargo failed due to China & Russia, which has to do with the strategic accord between China & Iran. Russia supplies 21% of all arms sold in Mid-East. They have interests that the arms embargo is not extended.

The provisions that exist today aren’t enough to prevent Iran from reaching nuclear weapons. Iran has a tendency to cheat & hide the details of its program & slowly engage in activities that allow it to reach nuclear breakout capability.

Conventional thinking among int'l analysts shrug the expiration of the arms embargo arguing Iran does not have the funds to buy weapons. Tehran can pose a variety of threats if the arms embargo is lifted.

If the embargo is not extended, the U.S. will impose sanctions on any company that sells as much as a screw to Iran’s weapons manufacturing industry.

Iran got the lion’s share of JCPOA benefits to continue terror efforts & proxy wars across the globe.
Soleimani's elimination was a victory for the people of Iran, Muslims in the region & those who opposes terrorism.

Soleimani was a legitimate target.
We have to stop Iran's funding of terror, keep that funding away from the IRGC Quds Force. The funding of the Quds Force will shoot through the moon if the sanctions [UN arms embargo] are lifted.
