China’s UN ambassador to the United Nations has criticised a proposed US-Bahraini resolution at the UN Security Council on the Strait of Hormuz, saying the content and timing were not right and that passing such a resolution would not be helpful, Al Jazeera reports.
The draft resolution demands Iran halt attacks and mining in the strait, but diplomats have said it is likely to meet with Russian and Chinese vetoes if it comes to a vote.
Both countries vetoed a similar US-backed resolution last month, arguing it was biased against Iran.
