Russia says US, Bahrain should withdraw UN resolution on Iran’s actions in Hormuz Strait

Moscow is urging the US and Bahrain to withdraw a draft resolution in the UN Security Council that calls on Iran to end its blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, Al Jazeera reports.

According to Russia’s state-owned TASS news agency, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Alimov told the Izvestia daily news outlet that Moscow “cannot support” the resolution, which is also backed by Gulf states.

“We now call on the co-authors of the US-Bahraini draft to withdraw it and not rush decisions on it, as we don’t yet see any potential for this document,” Alimov said.
