Iran Accuses US And Bahrain Of Pushing ‘Politically Motivated’ UN Resolution On Hormuz Strait

Iran has accused the United States and Bahrain of pushing what it calls a “politically motivated” United Nations resolution related to the Strait of Hormuz, escalating tensions at the global body over maritime security in the region.

The draft resolution reportedly focuses on ensuring safe navigation in the strategic waterway, but Iranian officials strongly reject it, claiming it unfairly targets Tehran and ignores wider regional issues.

Iran says the move is driven by political interests rather than genuine security concerns, while reiterating its stance on protecting freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.

The proposal, backed by the US and Bahrain, has deepened divisions at the UN Security Council, with member states split over how to address rising tensions in the Gulf region.

Analysts say the dispute highlights ongoing geopolitical rivalry over one of the world’s most critical energy routes, where any escalation could have global economic impact.
