The United States has called for support of a United Nations resolution aimed at compelling Iran to stop its attacks and mining activities in the Strait of Hormuz. However, diplomats suggest that both China and Russia are likely to veto this resolution, which could complicate U.S.-China relations, especially with President Donald Trump's upcoming visit to China. The proposed resolution, drafted by the U.S. and Bahrain with backing from several Gulf nations, condemns Iran's actions that threaten freedom of navigation in the strait. Iran's U.N. Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani has labeled the resolution as deeply flawed and politically motivated, arguing that the U.S. lacks the standing to advocate for maritime security given its military actions against Iranian vessels. The resolution follows a previous attempt to legitimize U.S. military action against Iran, which was blocked by Russian and Chinese vetoes. As discussions continue, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has emphasized the resolution as a test of the U.N.'s effectiveness and urged against vetoes from China and Russia.
