Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned against any "provocative actions", at a time when the UN Security Council is expected to vote today on a proposal for passage through the Strait of Hormuz, reported Agence France-Presse, BTA reported.
The strategic sea route through which world fuel supplies pass is almost completely blocked by Iran in response to the Israeli-American military operation against the Islamic Republic on February 28.
"Abbas Araghchi warned that any provocative action regarding the Strait of Hormuz by the aggressors and their supporters, including in the UN Security Council, will only complicate the situation," the Iranian Foreign Ministry announced works.
The United Nations Security Council will vote today on a proposal to secure passage through the Strait of Hormuz, after it was significantly softened by opposition from China and Russia to allowing force to reopen the critical waterway that Iran has largely cut off to global shipping, the Associated Press reported.
The final draft of the Bahraini resolution, which the agency has seen, authorizes the use of defensive, but not offensive, action to ensure ships can safely pass through the strait. About a fifth of the world's oil passes through the waterway, and Iran's control of it during the war has sent energy prices soaring.
