“This is very disappointing,” German daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung quoted Craft as saying in an interview.

“This matter is so important that we cannot wait until the arms embargo runs out on October 18. We cannot wait for the world to realize on October 18 that China and Russia have the ability to deliver weapons and Iran to buy them to pass them on to militias and other terror groups around the world that are steered by Tehran,” she added.
