"Ensuring the strait remains open is a demand set forth by UN conventions, as well as a shared international responsibility. The current situation not only jeopardises global economic stability and energy security but also worsens humanitarian crises and undermines regional stability."
"Gulf nations co-drafting the resolution, along with Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the United States, demand that Iran immediately participate in and enable UN efforts to establish a humanitarian corridor in the strait to deliver vital aid, fertiliser and other goods."
"Iran has brought traffic through the Strait of Hormuz to a near total standstill, making transit too risky. While Saudi Arabia and the UAE have pipelines to bypass the narrow waterway and allow some exports, other Gulf nations, such as Qatar, have been forced to halt energy exports."
Gulf nations Qatar, Bahrain, and the UAE are advancing a UN Security Council resolution threatening Iran with sanctions if it continues attacking ships in the Strait of Hormuz, imposing illegal tolls, and concealing mine locations. The resolution demands Iran enable humanitarian corridors for aid delivery and restore pre-war traffic levels through this critical waterway carrying one-fifth of global energy exports. Co-drafted with Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the United States, the resolution emphasizes that maintaining strait access is mandated by UN conventions and essential for global economic stability, energy security, and regional stability. Iran's recent attacks following US-Israeli military actions have severely disrupted shipping, forcing some Gulf nations like Qatar to halt energy exports despite some countries maintaining bypass pipelines.
