A tense debate unfolded at the United Nations in New York City as Amir Saeid Iravani strongly rejected a U.S.-backed draft resolution concerning the Strait of Hormuz.
Speaking during the heated session, Iravani accused the United States and Bahrain of promoting what he described as a “deeply flawed” and “politically motivated” resolution.
According to Iran, the proposed measure is designed to justify what Tehran calls unlawful American military actions in the Persian Gulf region.
Iravani claimed that U.S. naval operations, maritime blockades, and vessel seizures have violated international law and contributed to rising instability around the Strait of Hormuz.
The strategically vital waterway remains one of the world’s most important oil transit routes, making tensions there a major concern for global energy markets.
Meanwhile, Washington is urging U.N. member states to support the resolution, arguing that maritime security and freedom of navigation must be protected.
Diplomatic divisions are also emerging among major powers, with reports suggesting that China and Russia are considering vetoes against the proposal.
The dispute reflects widening geopolitical tensions as competing powers clash over security, military presence, and international law in the Gulf region.
As debate continues at the United Nations, attention remains focused on whether diplomacy can prevent further escalation around one of the world’s most critical maritime corridors.
