US Proposes UN Security Council Resolution to Reopen Strait of Hormuz
Rubio said he is unsure whether the resolution can survive a permanent veto from Russia or China.The United States, with its Gulf partners, is proposing a United Nations Security Council resolution to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, according to the State Department.
The resolution was drafted with Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Qatar, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a press statement on May 5. It calls on Iran to cease attacking ships, laying mines, and trying to charge tolls in the Strait, which is classified as an international waterway.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran continues to hold the world’s economy hostage with its efforts to close the Strait of Hormuz, threats to attack ships in the Strait, laying of sea mines that pose a danger to shipping, and attempts to charge tolls for the world’s most important waterway,” Rubio said.
He added that the draft resolution “demands that Iran disclose the number and location of the sea mines it has laid and cooperate with efforts to remove them, while also supporting the establishment of a humanitarian corridor.”

A UN resolution? Trump better stop fucking around , keep the ships transiting the straights and get back to domestic problems.
Yes...wipe Iran off the face of the Earth...Iran has no intention of negotiating unless we totally bankrupt them. They want the nuclear bomb. Then China and Russia enter the picture and keep the evil going.
Trump puts out the red carpet for Putin and doesn’t support Ukraine at all and you expect russia to do what? Lololol
@6:50...Trump keeps his enemies close and negotiates. Ukraine is a corrupt country. Do your homework. NO one approves of Russia's invasion of Ukraine unless they are insane. How much support have we given Ukraine? Billions. We are halting direct weapons transfers saying that European countries should take on a greater share of support. Should it all be us?
Hey, the ballroom is costing us $1Billion. And the Arch another couple hundred million.
@8:56pm...Hey, the ballroom is NOT costing you a dime. Are you talking about the 250-foot "Independence Arch" in Arlington, VA" Start concentrting on the billions of dollars of fraud in blue cities and states run by corrupt Democrats.
Trust me the same people that care about bashing the arch or the ballroom they're the same people that support abortion and want to kill babies but yet save rescue dogs they care more about dogs than they do about human beings! Major flawed logic! But that's the demon democrats for you!
