U.S. President Donald Trump has refused to concede to Biden, despite the Trump campaign's futile efforts to block the certification of votes in various states.

Sources told Reuters and the New York Times that advisors convinced Trump not to proceed, as it would risk sparking a broader conflict.

Tensions between Washington and Tehran have soared since U.S. President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew in 2018 from the Iran nuclear deal struck by his predecessor and began reimposing sanctions that had been eased under the accord.

Last week, the U.S. lost its long-shot bid to indefinitely extend an international arms embargo on Iran and has now moved to a new diplomatic line of attack.

A new, much shorter draft of the resolution circulated by the U.S. states that the arms embargo ``shall continue to apply until the Security Council decides otherwise.''

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's comments come as Iran announces the death of another 129 people, raising the death toll to 1,685 amid 21,638 cases.

Rouhani said Iran remained committed to the deal and could reverse its steps away from compliance if other parties fulfilled their obligations.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reiterated that he still expects Iran to compensate the victims' families as well.

The suspension followed concerns about escalating tensions between Iran and the U.S., stoking fears of an Iranian attack.

Iran’s president meanwhile warned that European soldiers in the Mideast “could be in danger” after three nations challenged Tehran over breaking the limits of its nuclear deal.
