It seems that the US is starting to lose its influence across the world, and in particular within the walls of the United Nations Security Council, where even its closest allies abstained from voting on the resolution proposed by the US to extend an arms embargo on Iran.

The vote which rejected the US bid, comes at a time of tense diplomatic patch-working as a potential crisis looms over the balance of power within the UN Security Council, with the US clearly emerging as the underdog.
