        The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations called Iran "the world's number one sponsor of terrorism" on Thursday and warned Russia and China that they will become "co-sponsors" if they block a resolution to extend the U.N. arms embargo on Iran.
        
        Ambassador Kelly Craft said the United States hopes Russia and China "will not be co-sponsors of the number one state that sponsors terrorism" and "will see the importance of peace in the Middle East.”
        
        But she said the partnership between Russia and China, not only on backing Iran, is very clear: "They're just going to be promoting chaos, conflict and mayhem outside their borders, so we have to just corner them.”
