A global standoff over control of the Strait of Hormuz is underway. The UN Security Council is set to vote on Tuesday (April 7) to determine the future of one of the world’s most important sea routes for energy supplies.
\nAl Jazeera reported that the UN Security Council will vote today on a revised or weakened resolution on Iran’s threats to the Strait of Hormuz. Bahrain, with the support of other oil-exporting countries in the Gulf region, began discussions on a draft resolution two weeks ago.
\nThe report also said that the latest draft, obtained by AFP on Monday, also calls on Iran to stop attacking commercial ships and to stop any attempts to impede freedom of navigation or movement in the Strait of Hormuz.
\nHowever, it does not authorize the direct use of force. Instead, it strongly encourages states to coordinate protective measures according to the situation, so as to protect commercial ships. This could include escorting ships. It also calls for coordination among countries to prevent any attempt to close, obstruct or disrupt international navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
\nThe draft also states that the Security Council will be ready to take additional measures if freedom of navigation in the Strait is obstructed. The vote in the UN Security Council will be held today, Tuesday, at 9 pm Bangladesh time. That is, the vote will be held 9 hours before the deadline set by US President Donald Trump.
\nMeanwhile, Iran has been asked to agree to a deal within that deadline, otherwise it has threatened to attack Iranian civilian infrastructure such as power plants and bridges. US President Donald Trump has also threatened to destroy Iran overnight if it does not open the Strait of Hormuz within a certain period. Trump warned, “If Tehran does not agree to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within the specified period, the United States can destroy Iran overnight.”
\nThe main condition of this agreement is to maintain normal energy supplies in this route, which is very important for global energy transport. The deadline has been set for 8pm tonight in Washington DC (6am Bangladesh time on Wednesday). And an acceptable agreement must be reached by that time. In a speech at the White House, Trump said, “I think Iran’s rational leaders are engaging in honest negotiations, but the outcome is still uncertain.” It is worth noting that Iran had previously rejected the temporary ceasefire proposal and demanded a permanent end to the war and the lifting of sanctions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
