Anyanwu provocative action by the aggressors and their supporters, including in the UN Security Council regarding the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, will only complicate the situation,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said.

Iran has warned the UN Security Council against any “provocative action” ahead of a scheduled vote on a draft resolution concerning the Strait of Hormuz, which was later postponed.

“Anyanwu provocative action by the aggressors and their supporters, including in the UN Security Council regarding the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, will only complicate the situation,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said.

Araghchi made the remarks ahead of Friday’s planned Security Council vote on a draft resolution that would authorize a force to protect shipping through the strategic Strait of Hormuz.

No new date for the vote has been set.
The Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping lane for global energy flows, has been largely closed since the United States and Israel launched strikes against Iran on February 28.

The 15-member Security Council had been scheduled to vote on a resolution proposed by Bahrain, which would permit the use of “defensive” force to safeguard shipping in Hormuz from Iranian attacks.

The draft resolution received backing from the US and Gulf states most affected by the virtual blockade, but countries including Russia, China, and France had raised objections to earlier versions.
