Bahrain-led UN Resolution on Strait of Hormuz Gains Support of 112 Nations
A draft United Nations Security Council resolution, led by Bahrain and the United States, has secured 112 co-sponsors, representing two-thirds of UN member states. The resolution demands freedom of navigation through the strategic Strait of Hormuz and calls for an immediate end to Iranian attacks on Gulf neighbors. Principal sponsors include Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and major economies like India, Japan, and South Korea, alongside most European Union members. This diplomatic push occurs amidst deadlocked peace negotiations between Washington and Tehran. The US insists on dismantling Iran’s nuclear program and lifting shipping restrictions, while Iran demands war reparations, an end to US naval blockades, and recognition of its sovereignty over the strait. Although China and Russia vetoed a similar resolution previously, their stance on this new draft remains uncertain. Regional mediators, including Pakistan and Turkey, are actively engaging to prevent further escalation, emphasizing the global economic impact of the strait's closure. No voting date has been set yet, but the broad international support underscores growing concern over regional stability and energy supply security.
