The position of our country regarding the present- day crisis in the Middle East is principled, consistent, and
objective in nature. We condemn the United States and Israel's aggression
against Iran. We respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries in the region, both the
Islamic Republic of Iran and other countries of the Persian Gulf. We reject strikes targeting their civilians and
their civilian infrastructure and view this as unacceptable. The Russian Federation undertake under undertook and continues to undertake efforts including
at the highest levels to end such actions. We are striving to achieve a prompt establishment of peace in the Persian Gulf and in the Middle East.
However, the Russian Federation was not able to support a text that would generate a dangerous precedent for international law, for international law
of the sea, for any international efforts at peace as well as for the authority of the security council of the United Nations.
Back when Security Council resolution was being negotiated, we called upon all council colleagues to adopt a balanced and an objective approach.
Similar equitable messages have already been repeatedly broadcasted by the Secretary General of the United Nations,
calling upon the United States and Israel to end the war and calling upon Iran to cease attacks on its neighbors.
Disregard for the root causes of the crisis in the Middle East, namely the illegal and reckless acts by the US and
Israel targeting Iran, is not possible and not acceptable.
Our and the secretary general uh calls fell on deaf ears then. Nevertheless, we understand the situation of the
countries of the GCC and Jordan and therefore we abstained uh during the vote on resolution
This was not an easy choice for us.
However, this time our partners from Bahrain and their like-minded partners went much further having tabled a
fundamentally erroneous and dangerous approach to the situation in the region.
Essentially nearly each paragraph of the draft they proposed abounded with unbalanced, inaccurate and
confrontational elements. And we will point to just the main points in this regard. In paragraph one of the preamble and paragraph six of the operative part,
Iran's actions were presented as the sole source for the so-called destabilizing activities and regional tensions.
When it comes to the real causes for the current crisis in the Middle East,
namely the US and Israel's illegal attacks targeting Iranian soil, this was something which was not mentioned at
all. And this despite the fact that in paragraph of the parameular part, the sponsors themselves highlighted that
threats to maritime navigation in the straight of Hormuz began to emerge precisely on th February This
incidentally flew in the face of their own statements that the current initiative was designed to become a
response to certain decades of threats to freedom of navigation by Iran. In paragraph six of the preamble,
attempts to interfere with the international navigation of the Gulf of Straight of Hormuz were categorically portrayed as threats to international
peace and security. uh the there was dis deliberate disregard for the fact that a significant part of the uh straight of
Hormuz uh is within Iran's territorial waters and this was deliberately overlooked. Turning to paragraph seven
of the preamble threats on merchant and commercial vessels and interference on freedom of navigation was identified as the sole reason for disruption to global
energy supplies. Once again without noting the root causes of the crisis which was frankly mentioned by the
president of the US himself publicly recognizing that an end to hostilities would result in the opening of the
straight of Hormuz. Turning to paragraph nine of the preamble as well paragraphs and four of the operative part. There were references to the UN convention on the law of the sea dating
This international legal instrument does not apply to circumstances of armed conflict which we stated on a number of
occasions during the negotiations process. Paragraph of the preamble noted that the threats that the source of threats to international peace and
security in the context of the current crisis allegedly is Iran.
Deletion from this paragraph of the reference to uh paragraph to chapter of the charter was not a panacea. Such
language essentially in any event can be interpreted by states acting in bad faith as legitimizing the use of force.
Paragraph two of the operative part does not call speaks for itself.
It proposes that the security council give a green light for the use of certain protective measures the scope
and breadth of which is unclear to us under the pretext of ensuring safety and security of navigation without any consideration for the sovereignty of
literal states. The qualification about the purely defensive nature of these efforts essentially does not change the
situation, especially given the fact that the sponsors themselves made clear that this was referring precisely to offensive measures, which was starkly
een in the language of paragraph of the operative part, which emphasizes that states acting in accordance with paragraph need to act in full
compliance with international humanitarian law. In paragraph seven of the operative part, it notes that the
security council would stand ready to consider further measures against those who undermine navigational rights and
freedoms. This is an obvious hint at attempts to leverage sanctions pressure irrespective of whether this is
explicitly stated here or not. Turning to paragraphs seven and Not only this
refer to the street of Hormuz but also Bob Elmand.
So the sponsors deliberately expanded the geographical scope of their draft thereby giving even greater grounds for
expansive interpretation thereof. Turn to paragraph nine of the operative part.
Despite the uh correct reference calls for diplomacy, this referred exclusively to deescalation of hostilities in the
Persian and Oman Gulf regions as well as the straight of Hormuz. When it comes to the need to cease the US-Israeli
aggression, this was swept under the rug. No mention was made. One thing is clear, Mr. President uh regardless of
attempts by the sponsors to make the text valuable in terms of the language the essence thereof remain unchanged and namely
granting cart launch for the continued aggressive acts and ongoing further escalation. What this would imply from
the legal standpoint as well as the implications for the situation on the ground is clear to us, especially at a
time when we hear statements from the US president about the readiness to destroy Iran if the straight of Hormuz is not
opened. Once again, it behooves us to remind the council members about the
distortion of uh the resolution adopted uh by the council in on
Libya and what the loose and expansive interpretation thereof caused. The limit of trust in states which advance
offensive measures under noble pretexts and streamlined language was exhausted.
Then we have already seen how the United States strived to justifi strove to
justify their strikes against Iran with the right to defense in accordance with article of the UN charter uh
generating a preventive interpretation thereof. We stand in solidarity with our Arab with Arab states who were
implicated by Washington who were victimized by the tragedy in the region.
And despite that solidarity, we cannot but note that attempts to impose the rules of the game in the street of
Hormuz plays into the hands of those who wish to further undermine security and stability in the Middle East and beyond.
The protective measures to protect vessels uh like any other property of member
states of the United Nations does not require security council resolutions.
It's it's sufficient to have references to article of the charter of the United Nations which grants the right to
self-defense virtually under any circumstances.
The uh spread of operations for security purposes in the street of Hormuz without
the consent of literal uh states is yet another reason for which we were unable
to accept and to adopt vote in favor of the draft from payable by Bahrain.
Colleagues, the adoption of this kind of a document which disregards the broad context of the situation would further
antagonize Iran which is already enduring the daily US-Israeli strikes
on the country's territory. Vast numbers of civilians are perishing. There are now nearly of such civilians who
have died, one quarter of whom are women and girls. The Supreme Leader has been killed and as has many as have many of the country's leadership. Civilian
infrastructure is being attacked including schools, hospitals,
universities, energy, nuclear facilities including the Busher power plant and
this is liable to morph into uh catastrophic humanitarian repercussions for Iran and for the entire region. We
wish to underscore that the security council did not agree to a single line with an assessment of these violations of international law.
Excuses you will hear from us today.
Ambass dwell in detail on the egregious double standards of this approach. However,
this was carried out in a completely illogical manner, even from the standpoint of simple pragmatism. The
adoption of such a one-sided resolution would undermine any prospect for the resumption of negotiations for the
purposes of resolving the crisis and would also obstruct important and useful peace initiatives which are currently
underway by a number of states including China, Pakistan, and Turkey.
If the security council were to adopt a position that was imposed upon it, then
there would be no incentive whatsoever for Tehran to engage in contact in any form with Washington. Washington which
twice already betrayed diplomacy. This was in June of and February of
and uh as the US began to conduct large-scale strikes against Iran at the height of the negotiations process. Mr.
President, from the very start of work on the document together with our Chinese colleagues, we conveyed to the Bahraini authors and other members of
the security council our very serious concerns in connection with this initiative. We did not see room for um
revision of the text which is why we urged our Arab friends to abstain from advancement thereof. However, our views
were not heated and the draft was put placed put to the vote in any event.
Under these circumstances, we had no choice other than to cast to vote against
it. Russia consistently supports comprehensive security for maritime navigation in all international waterways, the opening of corridors for
Venezuela and Cuba, an end to attacks targeting commercial vessels of any country. Similarly, we advocate
unhampered navigation in the straight of Hormuz. However, the only way to resolve
this uh situation is with the participation of all literal states bordering this important transport corridor. It is not possible to do this
without Iran. We call upon our Arab and Iranian friends to resolve the issue of navigation and the movement of vessels
directly. We stand ready to facilitate such contacts. Mr. President, we understand the concerns of our Arab
partners visa v the question of freedom of navigation.
And we together with China are proposing an alternative uh draft resolution
on the current situation in the Middle East including in terms of maritime safety and security. We are confident that providing for genuine freedom of
navigation in the strait which the strait which is of such critical importance for countries in the region entire world. The only way to achieve
this is through cessation of hostilities and through achievement of a negotiated solution. Our draft will be concise and
equitable and balanced in accordance with the principles of international law and the charter of the United Nations
specifically regarding peaceful dispute resolution. In this connection, we are putting this uh straight away to uh uh
in in blue and we will we will report on plans for voting shortly and we trust that the membership of the security council will provide their support.
Thank you.
I thank the representative of representative of the Russian Federation for the statement for the statement. I
give the floor to the representative of China of China. Thank you, President.
The month-long conflict in Iran and its spill over effect continues to heavy blow to regional and global peace and stability.
It is hitting the global economy causing increasingly widespread disruptions.
This is not in in common interest of regional countries and beyond.
The ins and outs of this conflict are crystal clear. The US and Israel without authorization from the security council
and while negotiations between Iran and the US were underway launched military strikes against Iran in clear violation
of the purposes and principles of the UN charter and the basic norms of international relations. At the same time, the sovereignty, security and
territorial integrity of Gulf states must be fully respected. Civilians and non-military targets must be given
necessary protection. The safety and security of shipping lanes and energy infrastructure must also be safeguarded.
China does not go along with Iran's attacks on Gulf States. Nor does China condone the blockade of the street of Humus.
Like all parties,
China hopes that peace and stability will be restored to the street as soon as possible and navigation will resume.
China attaches great importance to the draft resolution submitted by the representative Baharin on behalf of the Gulf States. We fully understand their
serious concerns and we are committed to solving the issue properly and we have participated constructively in the consultations.
Under the current circumstances, this draft resolution should clearly identify the root causes of this conflict, seek
appropriate solutions to address the root causes and ensure the safety and security of shipping lanes, and strive to promote dialogue and achieve peace.
It is regrettable though.
The draft resolution fails to capture the root causes and full picture of the conflict in a comprehensive balanced manner.
It contains one-sided condemnation and pressure characterizing the situation as a threat to international peace and security as well as the use of armed
escorts. Such language is highly susceptible to misinterpretation or even abuse.
At a time when the United States is openly threatening the very survival of a civilization, the current hostilities
imposed on Iran is very likely to further escalate. The draft resolution,
should it have been adopted, would send a wrong message and have serious, very serious consequences.
The security council has recent lessons to learn from issues such as Libya and the Red Sea. Such past mistakes must not be repeated.
The security council's actions should be aimed at deescalating the situation and cooling the temperature.
They must not provide a veneer legitimacy for unauthorized military operations. The council's action must not grant a license to use a force and
further exacerbate tensions and add fuel to the fire, thereby leading to an escalation of the conflict.
The Security Council should not rush to vote on the draft resolution where serious concerns among members have been raised. In light of the above, China had
no choice but to vote against the draft resolution. President,
this is a war that should never have happened. And as it continues, it will cause immeasur immeasurable harm. At present, the situation in the Middle
East continues to deteriorate and hostilities hostilities are escalating.
The fundamental solution to ensuring safe passage of ships through the straight is to achieve sessation of hostilities and of fighting as soon as
possible. The US and Israel are the instigators of this conflict. The fundamental reason for the disruption of
our navigation in the street of Homos is the illegal military actions taken by Israel by Israel and the United States
against Iran. China urges US and Israel strongly to immediately cease its
illegal military actions. Having heard what was said by our US colleague, we are much more convinced now that China's
position is objective and impartial reflecting the image of a responsible major power that upholds international
fairness and justice. Our vote will stand the test of history.
At the same time, China calls on Iran to stop attacking relevant facilities in the Gulf, address the legitimate
concerns of Gulf nations, focus on the common interest of the global south, and take corresponding positive measures to
restore normal navigation in the street of hormones as soon as possible. China applauds the active efforts made by
Pakistan, Egypt, Turkey and Saudi Arabia to promote dialogue and negotiations and restore regional peace. China commends
and supports the work by carried out by the United Nations in mediation and alleviating the humanitarian situation and looks forward
to these efforts yielding tangible results at an early date.
Recently, China has made tremendous efforts to install peace and stability in the Gulf and the Middle East. China
has engaged in intensive consultations and mediation with relevant parties.
China along with Pakistan have issued a five-point initiative on restoring peace and stability in the Gulf and the Middle
East calling for a cessation of hostilities, the prompt start of peace talks, the protection of non-military targets, the protection of maritime
shipping lanes and the primacy of UN charter. The China Pakistan -point initiative is an open initiative and
welcome countries and international organizations response and participation.
Taking into account the need of all parties to resolve the relevant issues,
Russia and China have jointly submitted a draft security council resolution. The text of that draft resolution is objective fair showing commitments to
easing tensions, calling for dialogue and negotiations and upholding the rights and freedom of navigation. and we hope it will receive the support of the
security council members. China is willing to work with all parties to make greater contribution to the early restoration of peace and stability in
that region. Thank you, President. the representative of China.

Apr 7, 2026 #russia #china #un

Russia and China have vetoed a United Nations Security Council resolution aimed at securing commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, dealing a significant blow to US-led efforts to stabilise one of the world’s most critical energy routes. The proposed resolution sought enhanced international measures to safeguard navigation amid rising attacks on tankers and growing disruption to maritime traffic. However, Moscow and Beijing opposed the move, warning that it could escalate the conflict and potentially justify an expanded military presence in the region. The veto underscores deep divisions among major global powers over how to respond to the crisis.



Transcript

China and Russia have vetoed a United Nations Security Council resolution aimed at protecting commercial shipping
through the straight of Hormuz, dealing a setback to US-led efforts to secure one of the world's most critical energy
routes as tensions in the Gulf continue to rise. The draft resolution brought forward amid escalating attacks on
tankers and growing disruption to maritime traffic called for enhanced international measures to safeguard
navigation through the choke point which handles a significant share of global oil exports.
But both China and Russia opposed the move, arguing that the resolution risked escalating the conflict and could be
used to justify a broader military presence in the region under the banner of maritime security. Their veto at the
United Nations Security Council highlights deep divisions among major powers over how to respond to the crisis
and underscores the geopolitical fault lines shaping the conflict beyond the battlefield. Diplomats familiar with the
discussions said Moscow and Beijing pushed for a more balanced approach that emphasized deescalation and dialogue
rather than measures that could be interpreted as aligning with US strategic objectives in the Gulf. For
Washington, the resolution was part of a broader push to build international backing for securing shipping lanes,
particularly as disruptions in the straight of Hormuz have begun to impact global energy markets. But the failure
to pass the measure leaves that effort fractured.
No one should tolerate that they are holding the global economy at gunpoint.
But today, Russia and China did tolerate it. They sided with a regime that seeks to intimidate the Gulf into submission,
even as it brutalizes its own people during a national internet blackout for daring to imagine dignity or freedom.
Now it seeks to punish the world as cynical leverage in its death to
America approach to foreign policy. We have long known that these countries are capable of paralyzing the council
through obstruction and manufactured confusion. Today's veto marks a new low and it shows just how frightening a
safer, more secure, more united Middle East can be. I will note today's result does not restrict the United States to
continue to act in its own self-defense and in the collective defense of our allies and partners and President Trump will continue the actions necessary to defend our people and the free world.
The request from Bahrain and from the region was not unreasonable. We have put serious diplomatic proposals before
Iran. The US remains prepared for meaningful diplomacy. But diplomacy cannot succeed where defiance, delay,
and escalation remain Thrron's only response. We are grateful to our
mediating partners for their continued effort to secure a peaceful resolution,
but Iran has to choose one. Colleagues,
Iran is a direct threat to international peace and security.
It is responsible for its own thuggery and it alone is responsible for the ramifications.
The straight of Hormuz remains a vital artery for global oil and gas flows and any sustained disruption carries
immediate economic consequences worldwide. With tensions already high,
the absence of a unified international framework increases the likelihood that maritime security will be handled
through parallel and potentially competing coalitions. The veto also signals a wider strategic shift.
Iran's President Masoud Pzeskian has sent a defiant message to the United States
after Donald Trump set a Tuesday deadline asking Thran to open the straight of Hormuz or see its power plants and bridges wiped out.
In an ex post, Pezeshkian said, and I quote, "More than million proud Iranians have so far registered to
sacrifice their lives to defend Iran. I too have been, am, and will remain devoted to giving my life for Iran."
unquote. Pezeshkian's million figure is double other numbers mentioned by state media in the past about volunteers the
government had been soliciting by text messages and media as the war went on.
Iran is home to million people. Many remain angry at the government over its bloody crackdown on nationwide
demonstrations, and the million figure likely is aimed at trying to dissuade the promised American bombing
campaign. Israel carried out a new wave of attacks on Iran early Tuesday. While Iran responded with missile fire against Israel and its Gulf Arab neighbors,
Israel and the United States carried out a wave of attacks on Iran on Monday,
killing more than people. One of the strikes hit an information and communication technology building at the Sharif University of Technology.
Overnight air strikes by the United States and Israel on the Iranian capital and other parts of the country have killed people. One of the targets
that were hit overnight is the Sharif University of Technology. And the building behind us is the one that was destroyed inside the compound. Iran
retaliated by firing missiles and rockets into Persian Gulf countries as well as Israel. The escalation comes as
an ultimatum set by US President Donald Trump for Iran to reopen the straight of Hermuz, the narrow passage on the tip of
the Persian Gulf is coming close. Trump said that if Iran does not open the straight of form, the United States will
destroy the country's power facilities as well as bridges and turn the country back into the stone age.
You are now dealing, you say, with a more reasonable um less uh extreme leadership in Iran. What does that mean
for the protesters, for the human rights movement in that country after this conflict?
Uh no, you have a much different group of people. Now, I'm not saying we are dealing with them. Uh, essentially, they
have till tomorrow night, Eastern time, but we are dealing with them. I think it's going well. Mr. Witkoff is here, and JD is involved in the dealing.
Mr. Whit is s sitting right here, and I think it's going fine, but we'll have to see. You have to understand, we've been dealing with these people for years.
I'm standing here with a much more powerful Iran as of a month ago. Not anymore. Right
now they are decapitated. But I'm standing here a month ago with a much more powerful Iran than it was at any
point during years. This should have been handled by seven presidents, a lot of presidents. And those presidents are
saying now, every one of them to their friends, we should have done this a long time ago. So, it's not something I like doing. It's very dangerous. And we're
getting them at the height of of their strength. No, not at all. No, no, I'm not. I hope I don't have to do it. But
again, I just said years they've been negotiating with these people. They're great negotiators.
Why would they're not going to have a nuclear weapon. And if somebody that takes my place someday is weak and ineffective,
which possibly that will happen because we had numerous presidents that were weak, ineffective, and afraid afraid of
Iran, we're never going to let Iran have a nuclear weapon. And if you think it's okay for people that are sick of mind,
that are tough, smart, and sick, really sick ide, uh, you know, from from a a
policy standpoint, from a stand, any which way you want to say, mentally,
these are disturbed people. If you think I'm going to allow them and powerful and rich to have a nuclear weapon, you can tell your friends at the New York Times,
not going to happen. Your messaging on the war has moved from the war is coming to an end to we're going to be bombing Iran to the stone ages and we've heard a range of those kind of messages.
So are you so which is it? Are you winding this down? Are you as I can't tell you? I don't know. I can't tell. Depends what they do. This
is a critical period. They have a period of well till tomorrow at o'clock. I gave them an extension. They asked for
an extension of seven days. Right. I said, "Steve, give them days."
days is up actually today. So, I gave them I guess, indirectly. I thought it was inappropriate the day after Easter. I want to be a nice person. Uh,
they have till tomorrow. Now, we'll see what happens. I can tell you they're negotiating, we think, in good faith.
We're going to find out. We're getting the help of some incredible countries that want this to be ended because it
affects them also. A lot of people are affected by this. But we're giving them uh we're giving them till tomorrow
Eastern time. And after that they're going to have no bridges. They're going to have no power plants.
Stone ages. Yeah. Stone.
Last week you suggested that Europe should take the lead on reopening the straight of Harm. uh has circumstances changed now that you're issuing a direct
hour I mean hour ultimatum and secondly would a new new ceasefire include Israel or would it just be between Iran
we can't talk about ceasefire but I can tell you that we have a active willing participant on the other side they would
like to be able to make a deal I can't say any more than in that particular
