Members of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) vote in favor of a draft resolution presented by Bahrain on behalf of the member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) regarding the current crises in the Gulf.
The U.N. Security Council on Wednesday adopted a resolution calling on Iran to immediately stop attacks against Gulf countries, warning the strikes violate international law and threaten global peace and security.
The resolution, passed by 13 votes with two abstentions, “demands the immediate cessation of all attacks by the Islamic Republic of Iran against Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan.”
It also “condemns any actions or threats by the Islamic Republic of Iran aimed at closing, obstructing, or otherwise interfering with international navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.”
Iran has struck Gulf states in retaliation to U.S.-Israeli attacks that killed Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
