Supporters of China and Russia counter that the Security Council's JCPOA Resolution 2231 endorsed the deal's own IAEA verification regime, so unilateral US claims of legal breach lack standing absent Council consensus.
Supporters of China and Russia argue that shielding Iran's nuclear program curbs US leverage at the UN, since weakened sanctions monitoring leaves Washington with fewer tools to pressure rivals.
Supporters of China and Russia argue that shielding Iran's nuclear program curbs US leverage at the UN, advancing a multipolar order where rival powers set the rules.
Supporters of China and Russia counter that veto power is itself leverage: Washington weaponized monitoring to punish rivals, so Moscow and Beijing block it to keep the UN from becoming a US enforcement arm.
Supporters of China and Russia argue that blocking the US resolution upholds sovereign equality, insisting that punishing Iran's civilian nuclear program without proof of weapons aims violates the moral principle that nations may pursue peaceful technology free of coercive sancti.

Supporters of the United States argue that past nuclear proliferation cases show unmonitored programs can conceal weapons ambitions, so they cite historical precedent to justify continued sanctions monitoring despite China and Russia's veto.
Supporters of the United States argue that America’s postwar leadership in building nuclear nonproliferation norms reflects its cultural commitment to accountability, and they maintain that Iran’s opaque record, not any national right, justifies continued monitoring.
Supporters of United States counter that the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty's original bargain—civilian aid in exchange for verifiable safeguards—was never meant to shield a state with Iran's concealment record.
Supporters of the United States argue that blocking UN sanctions monitoring undermines enforceable legal limits on Iran's nuclear program, and that compliance must be verified rather than trusted.
Supporters of the United States argue that blocking UN sanctions monitoring undermines the legal enforcement of nuclear safeguards, since Iran's compliance can only be verified through continued international oversight.
Supporters of United States counter that Iran's concealment and past weapons work void any legal shelter, since the NPT's Article II bars non-nuclear states from seeking nuclear weapons.
Supporters of the United States argue the blocked resolution shows China and Russia shielding Iran to dilute American leverage, so Washington treats sanctions monitoring as a power tool, not just a legal question.
Supporters of the United States argue that blocking sanctions monitoring lets Iran exploit civilian nuclear cover, so they treat Chinese and Russian vetoes as a test of leverage rather than principle.
Supporters of the United States counter that shielding Iran's program actually binds Moscow and Beijing tighter to a client they cannot control, draining their leverage while Washington preserves sanctions options and Gulf alliances intact.
Supporters of the United States argue that blocking sanctions monitoring lets Iran evade accountability, so they maintain that continued oversight is a moral duty to prevent nuclear proliferation risks.
Supporters of the United States argue that blocking sanctions monitoring undermines accountability, since Iran's nuclear history makes verification, not trust, the only reliable safeguard.
Supporters of the United States counter that sovereignty cannot shield a state that hides its program from inspectors, since the moral duty to prevent proliferation outweighs any claim to untested nuclear rights.
Supporters of the United States argue that religious and moral duty demands preventing nuclear proliferation, citing the risk that Iran's program could threaten regional stability and inherited order.
Supporters of the United States argue that blocking sanctions monitoring undermines the international order that safeguards religious communities, since unchecked nuclear proliferation threatens the stability and security that faith traditions depend upon.
