The president of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has said it was "not in position to take further action" on a bid by the United States to trigger "snapback" sanctions against Iran.
Indonesia's UN Ambassador, Dian Triansyah Djani, whose country is presiding over the UNSC for August, made the remark on Tuesday while responding to a question from Russia and China during a council meeting on the Middle East.
The move by the UNSC president drew an angry rebuke from the US ambassador to the UN, who accused the opposing countries of supporting the "terrorists".
