Iranโs permanent mission to the UN has urged member states to reject a resolution drafted by the US and its Gulf allies pressing Iran to ensure safe passage for shipping through Hormuz, calling it โflawedโ and โpolitically motivatedโ.
โThe only viable solution in the Strait of Hormuz is clear: a permanent end to the war, the lifting of the maritime blockade, and the restoration of normal passage,โ said Iranโs UN mission in a post on X.
It went on to accuse the US of using the resolution to โadvance its political agenda and legitimise unlawful actions โ not to resolve the crisisโ.
