The United States and Gulf Arab nations are working on a new plan at the United Nations to respond to the situation in the Strait of Hormuz. US Ambassador Mike Waltz said they are drafting a resolution that will criticize Iran for blocking the waterway after recent tensions linked to US and Israeli actions. Talks on this proposal are expected to happen this week. This comes after an earlier attempt failed when Russia and China blocked a similar resolution last month. The new resolution will likely ask Iran to stop attacking ships and not charge fees (tolls) for ships passing through the strait. It will also call on Iran to stop placing sea mines and to reveal where any mines have been put. Waltz said the focus is on keeping international waterways safe, as many countries—especially in Asia—depend on this route for trade and energy supplies. Overall, the goal is to protect global shipping and ensure that the Strait of Hormuz remains open and safe for all countries.
