Summary:
Russia and China vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz, just hours before President Donald Trump's deadline for Iran to cease threatening the waterway. The resolution, introduced by Bahrain, sought to encourage states to coordinate efforts to ensure the safety of navigation and demanded Iran halt attacks on commercial vessels and civilian infrastructure. Despite receiving 11 votes in favor, the resolution was opposed by Russia and China, with Pakistan and Colombia abstaining. The resolution's language had been weakened multiple times to try to gain broader support, ultimately removing references to offensive action and Security Council authorization.

Russia and China vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution Tuesday aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz, just hours before President Donald Trump’s deadline for Iran to cease threatening the key waterway. Trump has given Iran until 8 p.m. ET to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face strikes against its power plants and bridges on Tuesday. The resolution received 11 votes in favor and two against, with abstentions from Pakistan and Colombia. "No one should tolerate that they are holding the global economy at gunpoint, but today, Russia and China did tolerate," U.S. Ambassador Mike Waltz said Tuesday. "They sided with a regime that seeks to intimidate the Gulf into submission, even as it brutalizes its own people during a national internet blackout for daring to imagine dignity or freedom.""Failing to adopt this resolution sends the wrong signal to the world, to the people of the world — the signal that the threat to international waterways can pass without any decisive action by the international organization responsible for the maintenance of international peace and security," Bahrain’s foreign minister, Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani, added following the vote. US EMBASSIES IN BAH...
