financially from the deal that allows them to resume weapons sales to iran. so what happens with this deal now? well it s being turned into a draft u.n. resolution. but as you can see, from what we hear there, the u.n. security council comprising of china, russia germany, france britain, the united states leaving out germany there, of course the u.n. security council there s going to be if you will automatic support again from the people at the security council quite often who are the united states strongest critics even vetoing what the united states is trying to achieve there, wolf. nic robertson in vienna for us covering this story, thank you. let s talk about all of this with the spokesman for the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, mark regev joins us from jerusalem. president obama had a conversation on the phone with the prime minister today. how did that conversation go?
lot of momentum from britain today, with that draft u.n. resolution, which was under the chapter 7, which mean under the use of force mandate. that got nowhere, there was not even a u.n. security council meeting today. that was batted away. also, the foreign minister saying chemical weapons were used, this is a war crime and the world cannot stand by. and he this morning saying any reaction had to come sooner rather than later, because if it was going to be a lesson, it needs to be a lesson given right now. france, where i am, the president has said they stand ready to punish anyone who made that vile decision to use chemical weapons against innocent civilians. but it s not clear right now if they will go with the united states, particularly britain, if the u.s. decides to go it alone. obviously, the u.s. does not want to wait for the u.n. approval and it seems the consensus is amongst nato forces
