US, Bahrain push UN-backed action for Strait of Hormuz

The US and Bahrain are pushing for UN sanctions on Iran, aiming to pressure Tehran to halt attacks and threats in the Strait of Hormuz, potentially authorizing force if necessary. Recent clashes highlighted the fragility of the four-week truce and intensified the competition between the US and Iran for control of the waterway. This new draft resolution avoids explicit language authorizing force while adhering to UN Chapter VII.
