(Worthy News) – The United States threatened unilateral action against Iran on Monday after Russia vetoed a western bid for the United Nations Security Council to call out Tehran for failing to prevent its weapons from falling into the hands of Yemen’s Houthi group.

Haley did not specify what kind of action could be taken. [ Source: Reuters (Read More…) ]
