UN Security Council to vote on weakened resolution for safe shipping in Strait of Hormuz.

The UN Security Council is set to vote on a weakened resolution Tuesday aimed at ensuring safe shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. The revised text, drafted by Bahrain and backed by the U.S., removes explicit authorization for military force and instead urges defensive coordination to protect vessels, following opposition from China and Russia. Iran has resisted reopening the waterway, while the U.S. warns of serious consequences if a deal isn't reached by Tuesday night.
