New York, United States – Web Desk: The United Nations Security Council has removed a scheduled vote on a draft resolution concerning the Strait of Hormuz from its official agenda, with no explanation provided for the decision.
The resolution, proposed by Bahrain, aimed to address the protection of commercial shipping in and around the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, a key global energy transit route.
According to updated schedules published on the UN website, the vote—originally set for April 3—has been withdrawn, and no new date has been announced. The reason for the delay remains unclear.
The development comes amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, where concerns over maritime security and energy supply routes have intensified.
Earlier reports indicated that China, a permanent member of the Security Council with veto power, had signaled opposition to any resolution that could authorize the use of force in the region.
Diplomatic observers say the postponement reflects ongoing divisions among major powers over how to address the escalating situation around the Strait of Hormuz.
