US, Gulf states to draft UN Security Council resolution condemning Iran for blocking Strait of Hormuz
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe United States and Gulf Arab nations are drafting a UN Security Council resolution designed to condemn Iran for blocking the Strait of Hormuz in response to the US-Israeli war with the Islamic Republic, US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz says.
Waltz says negotiations will take place this week on the resolution, which comes after permanent Security Council members Russia and China blocked a resolution last month that Washington hoped would galvanize international efforts to restore freedom of navigation in the waterway, a key pathway for the flow of oil and gas.
