A Bahrain-led resolution aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz failed at the United Nations on Tuesday, unable to withstand opposition from Russia and China despite attempts to weaken its provisions to win their support.
Nearly a dozen countries — Bahrain, Democratic Republic of Congo, Denmark, France, Greece, Latvia, Liberia, Panama, Somalia, United Kingdom and the U.S. — voted in favor of the resolution, while Colombia and Pakistan abstained.
