A proposed United Nations resolution would warn Iran that it could face sanctions or other measures unless it takes steps related to navigation and security in key waterways. According to multiple reports, the draft text focuses on the Strait of Hormuz and sets conditions tied to preventing interference with shipping.
The proposed resolution would call on Iran to stop attacks on ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz. It would also require Iran to stop imposing so-called “illegal tolls,” a term used in the reports to describe charges or barriers characterized as unlawful by the drafters. In addition, the draft would seek disclosure of the placement of all mines to improve maritime safety and allow freedom of navigation.
The articles describe the measures as conditional, meaning sanctions or other actions would be considered if Iran does not comply with the specified demands. The reports do not indicate an agreement on final language or timing, but they consistently describe the core elements of the proposal and the expectations placed on Iran regarding shipping access and mine and toll practices in the region.
