UN Security Council demands Iran halt Gulf attacks
Change
On March 11, 2026, the UN Security Council passed a resolution demanding that Iran immediately cease attacks on Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan.
Why it matters
The resolution passed on March 11, 2026, by 13 votes with two abstentions. It demands the immediate cessation of all attacks by Iran against Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan. It condemns actions or threats by Iran aimed at closing, obstructing, or otherwise interfering with international navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran struck Gulf states in retaliation to U.S.-Israeli attacks that killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and has fired on commercial ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s Ambassador to the United Nations criticised the resolution as politically motivated.
Implications
- • Iranian military and naval operations against the seven named states are required to stop immediately under the Council demand.
- • Actions or threats that close, obstruct, or interfere with international navigation through the Strait of Hormuz are formally condemned.
