Bahrain-led UN Hormuz Resolution Garners 112 Co‑sponsors as Trump Ignores US Financial Concerns

Bahrain-led UN resolution on Hormuz navigation has won 112 co‑sponsors, about two‑thirds of UN members, while Trump says US finances play no role in Iran talks.

The Strait of Hormuz moves roughly one‑fifth of the world’s oil shipments, making its openness vital to global markets.

Diplomatic sources say Bahrain and the United States tabled the draft to protect commercial shipping and energy supplies through the waterway.

The resolution also calls for an immediate halt to Iranian attacks on Gulf neighbours.

It has received 112 co‑sponsors, a figure that represents about two‑thirds of the 193 UN member states.

Al Jazeera’s Gabriel Elizondo noted the co‑sponsor list fills three full pages, underscoring broad international backing.

Trump stated he does not consider Americans’ financial situation when negotiating with Iran, focusing solely on preventing Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

He added that he thinks about nothing else but stopping Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.

The wide support shows many nations view Hormuz security as a shared interest, regardless of US domestic concerns.

China and Russia have expressed reservations about the draft, though it remains unclear if they will veto it again.

The resolution’s fate will test whether geopolitical rivals can set aside differences over a critical shipping lane.

Observers will watch whether China and Russia veto the measure and how Iran responds to the renewed diplomatic push.
