The US and Bahrain are pushing for a UN-backed resolution on the Hormuz Strait crisis, which could lead to sanctions against Iran and potentially authorize force if Tehran fails to halt attacks. The draft resolution condemns Iran's violations of the ceasefire and demands immediate cessation of attacks and disclosure of mine locations. Simultaneously, the US is pursuing a multinational maritime coalition to establish a post-conflict security architecture for the Middle East.
