UAE regrets UN Security Council failure to act on Iran’s attacks on Strait of Hormuz shipping
The United Arab Emirates expressed deep regret over the UN Security Council’s failure to adopt a draft resolution demanding the immediate cessation of all attacks on vessels and attempts to impede freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
“The Strait of Hormuz must remain open to all, and the freedom of navigation must be preserved,” the UAE said, adding that “no country should have the power to shut down the arteries of global commerce and drive the world to the brink of economic calamity.”
The UAE emphasised that the Security Council’s failure to act does not diminish the urgency of the crisis or its resolve, thanking Bahrain for its leadership on the Council and its diplomatic efforts.
The UAE added that it will continue to push for international efforts to restore navigation through the strait and work with partners to advance coordinated action to secure global commerce.
