America and several Gulf Arab nations are collaborating on a fresh United Nations Security Council resolution aimed at criticizing Iran’s interference with shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, according to U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Mike Waltz, who announced the effort Monday.<\/p>

The ambassador indicated that discussions on this new proposal will occur throughout this week. This latest diplomatic push follows Russia and China’s decision last month to block an earlier resolution that Washington had hoped would rally global support for keeping the vital shipping lane open.<\/p>

Waltz explained during a media briefing that the United States is working alongside Bahrain to develop this resolution, with additional contributions from Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.<\/p>

The proposed measure would call on Iran to halt its attacks against commercial vessels and stop attempting to collect fees from ships passing through the strait. Additionally, the resolution would demand that Iran cease deploying sea mines in the waterway and reveal where existing mines have been placed.<\/p>

According to Waltz, this latest draft represents a “narrower effort” compared to the previously unsuccessful resolution and comes during an active ceasefire with Iran. “This is much more focused on mining international waterways and on tolling, which all of the economies of the world are affected by, particularly those in Asia,” he said.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
