UN resolution proposal would hit Iran with sanctions for halting freedom of navigation

The proposed U.N. resolution demands that Iran halt attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz, stop imposing ‘illegal tolls,’ and disclose the placement of all mines to allow freedom of navigation. This is part of the Trump administration’s effort to restore freedom of navigation in the strait, which carries about 20% of the world’s crude oil. The resolution threatens sanctions if Iran doesn’t comply, aiming to secure the waterway’s passage.
