💨 Abstract

Russia and China vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz, which is crucial for global oil transit. The resolution was significantly watered down to avoid vetoes but still faced opposition from Russia and China, who cited U.S. threats and the proposal's potential for escalating conflict. Iran thanked its allies for blocking the resolution, while the U.S. criticized Russia and China for tolerating Iran's actions.
