Iran’s permanent mission to the United Nations says that a permanent end to the war, the lifting of the US naval blockade and the restoration of normal passage are “the only viable solution” to resolve the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz.

“Instead, the US is pushing a flawed, politically motivated UN Security Council draft resolution under the pretext of “freedom of navigation” to advance its political agenda and legitimise unlawful actions—not to resolve the crisis,” the mission says in a post on X.

“Iran calls on Member States to act on the basis of logic, fairness and principle, not pressure, reject the draft, and refrain from supporting or co-sponsoring it.”
