# The United Nations’ Security Council is expected to vote today on a watered-down resolution calling for the reopening of the strategically-important Strait of Hormuz off Iran. This follows objections on multiple drafts from several veto-holding permanent members, including France, Russia and China. The latest draft encourages countries interested in the use of commercial maritime routes in the strait to coordinate defensive efforts to ensure the safety and security of navigation across this critical waterway.
