NEW YORK: Russia and China on Tuesday vetoed a UN Security Council resolution sponsored by Bahrain aimed at safeguarding navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, dealing a blow to international efforts to address rising tensions linked to Iran’s obstruction of the vital waterway. The draft resolution received 11 votes in favor, with two against — Russia and China — and two abstentions, falling short due to the vetoes by the two permanent members. The measure had been repeatedly diluted in a bid to secure consensus among council members.
