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.
