US, Gulf states push new UN resolution targeting Iranian mines in Strait of Hormuz

The United States is working with Gulf states to draft a UN Security Council resolution requiring Iran to cease laying mines and collecting tolls in the Strait of Hormuz and stop attacks on commercial ships. The resolution will also mandate Iran to disclose mine locations and cooperate with international efforts for removal, establishing a humanitarian maritime corridor. This revised resolution aims to garner broader international support after a previous attempt was vetoed by Russia and China.
