U.S. Threatens Action Against Iran after Russia UN Veto

(Reuters) Michelle Nichols - After Russia vetoed a Western bid for the UN Security Council to call out Tehran for sending weapons to Yemen's Houthis, U.S. UN Ambassador Nikki Haley said Monday, "If Russia is going to continue to cover for Iran, then the U.S. and our partners need to take action on our own....This vote...just validated a lot of what we already thought, which is Iran gets a pass for its dangerous and illegal behavior." A senior Western diplomat said, "We don't have any illusions with regard to Iran's policy towards Israel, Iran's role in the region...and also what they do in terms of constructing ballistic missiles. What we're trying, and have to do...is to actually make these points even clearer than in the past."
