Inconvenient question

Russia interrupted negotiations at UN headquarters on a draft resolution with sanctions against Iran. Reason: US proposal to put on the agenda of the UN Security Council a discussion of the health of the imprisoned ex-presidential candidate of Belarus Alexander Kozulin. Russia's permanent representative to the UN, Vitaly Churkin, when asked why the meeting was postponed, said: “Because I said so.” The US is concerned about the “threat to democracy and human rights in Belarus.” It’s just a pity that we never agreed on Iran.
