This is the final test for Iran's relations with China and Russia.UNSC to vote on Bahrain’s proposal, which would authorize naval action in Strait of Hormuz
By Nic Robertson and Mohammed Tawfeeq
Bahrain pushes for UN resolution to protect Strait of Hormuz
A draft UN Security Council resolution proposed by Bahrain would authorize countries to use “all defensive means necessary” to secure transit passage through the Strait of Hormuz, if adopted.
Two diplomats said the vote was set for Saturday morning, rather than Friday as earlier planned, according to Reuters.
A Gulf official said Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had spoken with Russian President Vladimir Putin and that there was an expectation Russia would not block the resolution. The official added the crown prince was expected to speak with “relevant” officials in China, with the expectation Beijing would also not block it.
However, in remarks to the Security Council on Thursday, China’s UN envoy Fu Cong opposed authorizing force, reported Reuters. Such a move would be “legitimizing the unlawful and indiscriminate use of force, which would inevitably lead to further escalation of the situation and lead to serious consequences,” he added.
The draft resolution, which CNN has obtained a copy of, deplores Iran’s actions as violations of international law and warns of adverse impacts on international trade, energy security, supply chains and the global economy.
It stresses that ships and aircraft enjoy a right of transit passage through the Strait of Hormuz that “shall not be impeded.”
The draft resolution would authorize member states, acting individually or through voluntary multinational naval partnerships that notify the Security Council in advance, to use defensive measures in the strait and adjacent waters – including within the territorial waters of littoral states bordering the strait – to secure transit passage and deter attempts to close or obstruct navigation.
The authorization would last at least six months from adoption and would require quarterly reporting by participating states.
The draft calls on participating states to coordinate their actions and ensure operations comply with international humanitarian law and applicable international human rights law, while respecting third states’ navigation rights.
It also stresses the authorization would apply only to the Strait of Hormuz and would not establish customary international law.

It is but a lot of Muslims especially Middle Eastern Muslims think that russia is on their side against the zionists/west. When push comes to shove, russians, europeans, americans, israelis and all white people will band together against Muslims or ANY other non-whites. For WHATEVER reason, ALOT of Muslims are not prepared to accept this FACT.

Yep, China was also worried that Russia might ally with Trump during his first term as China before 2020 cannot handle both USA and Russia either.
However, China now could be careless if Russia is willing to turn their head to the US as they are both getting weakened and a full rare earth sanction should be enough to put them on their knee.

I dont get why you would consider Zion on its own. It's a nothing burger, IT has few natural resources and in the absence of American support would be nothing more than a Jordan. Its an artificial country that only exists on charity from west without that the would be busty musty. They went bankrupt in 1992 and were bailed out. Hamas a militia at best would have taken all of Zion had america and west not supported Zion with weapons and logistics etc.

Man you buy apt there in high rise for half a mill and sit on it for 5 years and it doubles no? How many of your friends bought into that hood? I know a few who bought in different north Tehran hoods and were doing well until this war started.
Iran real estate will do great provided Iran wins this war on its terms.
Every man n his dog will invest in north Tehran when Iran conclusively wins this and all those billions invested in DXB/ Abu-Donkey/ Manama/ Istanbul come gushing into Tehran.

Russia doesn't have that many options left. Even if they sign a deal with Trump, it will last only 3 years at best, assuming that the Congress and the Senate would not eventually intervene in Putin's love affair with Trump.
Russia's only remaining card to stay relevant on the international stage is their UNSC permanent seat. Without that, Russia is nothing but a regional power at this point.
Also, the tide has turned in the US and the chance of electing another Republican president after Trump is getting exponentially lower by every passing month.

China would do well to demonstrate some common sense for a change and veto this proposal. This proposal will has enough legal legs in it to allow for "legalised" attacks on Iran under the guise of "defence"(Which it self is an arbitrary term) by anyone out there.
The UK will enter the war under this resolution as it will have "LEGAL" grounds to do so. I am quite certain of that fact. The pressure will build once this resolution is in place, I have seen this so many times before.

So, instead of dealing with the action they want to deal with the reaction.
Working UN retroactively to process fallout. Useless and waste of time when the global order under its conventions has been tossed out as piece of trash.

US has lost a lot for example Iran proved Aircarft carriers are obsolete in 21st warfare and just a big target. Americas 10-20 carriers are now obsolete. how much is that worth?
