The United Nations Security Council failed to adopt a Bahrain-backed resolution aimed at securing maritime safety in the Strait of Hormuz, due to vetoes from China and Russia.

• The resolution received eleven votes in favor but was blocked by the dual vetoes from permanent members.
• Key players included Bahrain, Iran, China, and Russia.
• The resolution called for coordinated defensive actions and demanded Iran halt attacks on commercial vessels, while opponents argued it was one-sided.
