What does 'it is no accident' imply here?
It is no accident that four of the five permanent members of the Securtiy Council are amongst the world's leading arms dealers.
Thank you

That it is a likely/logical situation.
.
But isn't it assumed to be a fact that 4 of the 5 permanent members of the council are among the worlds' leading arms dealer based on statistics the author has gathered?
Thanks again
You have given me nothing in the way of context; how am I to know?-- but in any case, that has nothing to do with the meaning of 'it is no accident', which is 'it is a likely/logical situation'.
