Feb. 26 (UPI) -- Russia vetoed a United Nations resolution citing Iran as a violator of an arms embargo on Yemen's Houthi militia Monday.
The British-drafted resolution, which would have called out Iran's failure to block supplies of missiles to the Yemeni rebels, was supported by most members on the 15-member U.N. Security Council in an 11-2 vote, but was ultimately blocked by Russia's veto.
