Trump, UN Security Council to meet Monday on Iran


The meeting, which will be Trump’s second working lunch with the Security Council, comes in the middle of a two-track effort in Congress and with European allies to address flaws that the Trump administration perceives in the nuclear deal negotiated by former President Barack Obama’s team. It’s one stop on a trip that Ambassador Nikki Haley arranged to highlight Iran’s role in conflicts around the Middle East.
Haley will lead the Security Council diplomats in an inspection of debris from a ballistic missile fired from Yemen into Saudi Arabia, according to the U.S. mission, as well as a tour of the Holocaust Museum’s exhibit on the war in Syria. U.S. officials declassified the wreckage to make the case that Iran is arming Houthi rebels in the Yemeni civil war.
