United Nations

Countries are set to vote on two competing resolutions surrounding the crisis in the Middle East. The main one, sponsored by over 90 countries, demands an immediate cessation of all attacks and threats by Iran against the six Gulf countries and Jordan, including through proxies. It also condemns any actions or threats by Tehran that would close or interfere with international navigation through the crucial Strait of Hormuz.

Russia has introduced a competing draft. Naming no countries, the text condemns all attacks against civilians and urges all parties to stop fighting and return to negotiations.
