AI Summary:
Russia and China vetoed a UN Security Council resolution aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The vote, 11 in favour, two against and two abstentions, took place hours before a deadline for Iran to open the strategic waterway or face attacks on its power plants. It’s doubtful the resolution, even if it had been adopted, would have impacted the war. Resolution urges states interested in use of commercial maritime routes in Strait of Hormuz. This should include escorting merchant and commercial vessels, it says. Iran's blockade in the strait is seen by Gulf nations as an existential threat.
