Summary

In a vote that surprised no one, the United Nations Security Council voted today to extend the UN mission in Iraq by another 12 months.

Violence in Iraq is diminishing, and the country continues to seek regional support. Iraqi Ambassador Hamid Al Bayati was pleased by the Security Council’s vote, and expressed his desire to work with “all [regional] parties,” and refused to eliminate Iran from a list of potential allies.
