Russia and China have urged the United Nations Security Council to vote on a draft resolution to delay the reimposition of sanctions on Iran by six months.
All UN sanctions on Iran are expected to be reinstated tomorrow, after the United Kingdom, France and Germany launched a 30-day process accusing Tehran of violating a 2015 deal with world powers aimed at preventing it from developing a nuclear weapon.
But Russia and China will bring a vote to the Security Council on Friday, seeking to delay this process.
The resolution being presented to the 15-member UN Security Council needs at least nine votes in favor and no vetoes from Britain, France or the United States.
Today, diplomats said the prospect of a deal to avoid the return of sanctions was slim, according to Reuters.
France's Emmanuel Macron warned last night that Iran has only "hours" left to reach a deal.
Britain, France and Germany have offered a delay of up to six months, to allow space for talks on a long-term deal, but only if Iran restores access to UN nuclear inspectors, addresses concerns about its stockpile of enriched uranium and engages in talks with the United States.
