flag U.S. UN plan blocked by Russia and China after Iran sanctions dispute; first lady hosts children-tech event.

flag The U.S. failed to secure adoption of its UN Security Council programme of work in March 2026 after Russia and China blocked a planned briefing on Iran sanctions, triggered by the UK, France, and Germany’s snapback mechanism over Iran’s alleged nuclear non-compliance. flag The move followed U.S.-Israel strikes that killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, sparking retaliatory attacks and rising regional tensions. flag Despite the deadlock, the U.S. hosted a historic first event chaired by First Lady Melania Trump on children, technology, and education, with a second event on energy and security still planned.
