The UN Security Council is set to vote on Tuesday for a resolution addressing Iran’s threats to the Strait of Hormuz, diplomatic sources told AFP.
The latest draft, seen by AFP, demands Iran end its attacks on commercial vessels and halt “any attempt to impede transit passage or freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz”.
But objections from several veto-holding permanent members have watered down the text, and the latest draft does not expressly authorise the use of force.
