Gulf states and Israel urge UN action against Iran over Strait of Hormuz

Several countries, including Gulf states and Israel, have brought complaints about Iran to the United Nations. They accuse Iran of posing a threat in the Strait of Hormuz and of supporting militant groups, and they are asking the UN to take action.

Iran has responded by saying its ships are not hostile and by sending its own complaint to the UN. Iran is seeking compensation from the United Arab Emirates for U.S. strikes on Iranian territory.
