The United Nations Security Council is set to vote next week on a resolution aimed at ensuring safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, diplomats told Reuters.
The vote was initially scheduled for Friday, then postponed to later today, but diplomats said no specific date has yet been set for next week.
If adopted, the draft resolution would authorize countries to use “all necessary defensive means” to ensure safe transit through the strait.
Maritime operations in the waterway—effectively closed since the start of the conflict—would also be authorized under the proposal.
