GCC seeks UN action for safe shipping lanes amid global supply concerns
The Gulf Co-operation Council is urging the UN Security Council to take measures to protect waterways like the Strait of Hormuz, warning that shipping disruptions are causing global shortages of oil, gas, and other essentials. GCC leaders cite 'sinful' Iranian aggression and assert their right to self-defense. Bahrain has proposed a resolution to ensure free navigation, but it faces objections from Russia, China, and France, casting doubt on its adoption. The call emphasizes the need for Gulf states to be included in regional security talks to prevent further escalation.
