Khaberni - Bahrain and Washington proposed a resolution in the United Nations Security Council concerning the Hormuz Strait crisis, which includes opening a humanitarian corridor to ensure the passage of aid and protection of international navigation.
The Kingdom of Bahrain and the United States announced on Thursday evening their submission of a resolution to the United Nations Security Council regarding the situation in the Hormuz Strait on behalf of the Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia.
The resolution calls on Iran to "immediately cease all attacks and threats against shipping and commerce in the Strait".
In a press statement outside the council chamber, given by Ambassador Jamal Al Ruwaie, the Permanent Representative of Bahrain to the United Nations, with the presence of ambassadors from Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, and the American Ambassador Mike Walz, Al Ruwaie emphasized that the strait is vital for the stability and prosperity of the Gulf and the global economy, warning of the dangers of recent developments and stressing the need to keep the passage safe and open through collective action.
He noted that the resolution (number 2817) calls on Iran to stop its attacks immediately, considering that normalization of such practices is "unacceptable". The project also addresses participation in the United Nations' efforts to establish a humanitarian corridor in the strait, based on the principle of freedom of navigation according to international law and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
Al Ruwaie added that the initiative reflects a strong commitment to regional security, multilateral cooperation, and the peaceful resolution of conflicts, expressing his hope for constructive work with all Security Council members to draft the final text and to gain the widest possible support.
For his part, American Ambassador Mike Walz clarified that the project also demands Iran to remove sea mines and stop planting them, to end the imposition of illegal tariffs in the strait, and to allow the United Nations to transfer life-saving humanitarian aid through this international corridor.
This project is part of the efforts aimed at ensuring the security of navigation and the peaceful resolution of the crisis, with support from the Arab Gulf countries.
