Iran Arms Embargo Expires Despite U.S. Objections
-------------------------------------------------

A United Nations-imposed arms embargo against Iran expired Sunday,
clearing the way for countries like Russia and China to sell
conventional weapons to Iran, including tanks, helicopters and missiles.
The embargo's expiration came over the objections of the Trump
administration, which imposed harsh economic sanctions on Iran in 2018
after it unilaterally pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal.
