Iran�s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif described the termination of the UN Security Council�s arms restrictions against Tehran in defiance of Washington�s efforts as �a win for the cause of multilateralism and peace and security in our region�.

�A momentous day for the international community, which� in defiance of malign US efforts�has protected UNSC Res. 2231 and JCPOA. Today's normalization of Iran�s defense cooperation with the world is a win for the cause of multilateralism and peace and security in our region,� Zarif tweeted on Sunday.

The tweet came after the Foreign Ministry of the Islamic Republic of Iran released a statement earlier in the day, announcing the termination of UN Security Council provisions on arms restrictions and travel ban.

The Foreign Ministry said October 18 is �a momentous day for the international community,� praising the world for standing with Tehran �in defiance of the US regime�s efforts.�

The administration of US President Donald Trump suffered an embarrassing loss on August 14 as it failed to renew the Iranian arms embargo through a resolution at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).

Russia and China voted against the motion and the remaining 11 council members, including France, Germany and the UK, abstained.
