A “no” vote from the one of the five permanent members is a veto.

From the article, it sounds like it’s different ...

“Had the resolution passed, it would have forced the United States - which has stated its firm opposition to such unilateral measures - to use its veto at the Security Council, potentially causing tensions with some of America’s Arab allies in the UN.”

NOW ... since the USA did vote no, I have’t seen it described as a “veto”.
