Proposed UN Security Council resolution warns Iran could face sanctions over Hormuz

Proposed UN Security Council resolution warns Iran could face sanctions over Hormuz A proposed United Nations Security Council resolution backed by the US and Gulf states warns Iran that it could face sanctions or further measures if it does not restore freedom of navigation and reveal the location of sea mines in and around the strategic waterway. The draft text, seen by The Associated Press, also calls on Iran to “immediately participate in and enable the UN efforts to establish a humanitarian corridor in the strait” to allow the passage of essential supplies, including aid and fertiliser. It has been drawn up under Chapter 7 of the UN Charter, which permits enforcement by military means.
