Russia and China veto UN resolution to reopen Strait of Hormuz

Russia and China used their veto power to block a United Nations Security Council resolution that aimed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The resolution was described as 'watered-down' and was backed by the United States.

This action prevents the UN from formally calling for the reopening of the key global oil shipping route. The veto occurred amid growing humanitarian and economic pressures in the region.
