Soviet veto blocks Iran sanctions over hostages at UN
The United States urged U.N. members to join meaningful action after a second Soviet veto blocked a Security Council sanctions resolution tied to releasing Iranian hostages. Iran’s foreign minister said hostages would stay until the shah is returned, even forever. The veto halted a Dec 31 resolution urging hostage release by Jan 7 and threatening measures. The United States considers steps including a naval blockade and expelling Western diplomats to pressure Iran.
