The United Nations Security Council has once again postponed a scheduled vote on a proposal aimed at ensuring the safety of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. According to a UN official cited by the BBC, the vote, initially planned for Friday and later rescheduled for Saturday, did not take place as planned. UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric confirmed that no new official date has yet been set for the vote.

The proposal, introduced by Bahrain as the current president of the Security Council, calls on member states to take all necessary defensive measures consistent with the situation to secure maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz for at least six months. The repeated delay underscores ongoing procedural or political challenges within the Council regarding the measure.

It remains unclear when the Security Council will reconvene to decide on the proposal, leaving uncertainty over the next steps in addressing maritime security in the strategic waterway.
