Summary
UN Security Council to vote on Hormuz resolution amid tensions
The UN Security Council is set to vote on a revised resolution addressing threats to navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, after earlier proposals faced opposition.
The vote is scheduled for 15:00 GMT, hours before US President Donald Trump’s deadline for Iran to agree to terms or face potential strikes on infrastructure, according to AFP.
The draft, backed by Bahrain and other Gulf states, calls on Iran to halt attacks on commercial vessels and avoid disrupting transit through the key waterway.
The latest version stops short of authorising force, instead urging countries to coordinate “defensive” measures to ensure safe navigation, including escorting commercial ships.
