Middle East War Live: Iran Warns UN Security Council Against ‘Provocative Action’ on Hormuz
Iran warned the council that action would complicate the crisis as member states delayed a vote on armed protection for shipping.
- On Friday, the UN Security Council postponed its scheduled vote on a draft resolution to authorize 'defensive' force in the Strait of Hormuz after Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned that any 'provocative action' would complicate the situation.
- Iran has severely restricted transit through the strait in retaliation for US-Israeli strikes, threatening global fuel supplies; the shipping lane has been virtually shut since strikes launched February 28.
- Drone attacks on a Kuwaiti oil refinery and falling debris at an Abu Dhabi gas complex highlight widening regional instability, with the UAE's defence ministry confirming sounds heard were 'ongoing engaging operations'.
- French President Emmanuel Macron and South Korean President Lee Jae Myung agreed Friday in Seoul to upgrade relations to a 'global strategic partnership,' affirming their resolve to help reopen the strait.
- President Donald Trump threatened additional strikes on bridges and power plants, warning the US military 'hasn't even started destroying what's left in Iran' and insisting its leadership 'knows what has to be done, and has to be done, FAST!'.
