The United Nations Security council, one of the most important divisions of the international body, has two types of members: permanent and temporary. Nations like the United States have a permanent seat. The other seats rotate. Iran wanted one of those.
The nations spoke and Iran lost. Of the five seats up for grabs this time around, Iran made a bid for one of the spots. The Asia seat was contested by Japan. Japan beat Iran 158 to 32.
Other seats went to Austria, Turkey, Uganda, and Mexico.
I guess having an asshole president and being defiant of the world’s requests to end a hostile nuclear program would keep other countries from voting for you.
