Russia and China veto UN resolution on Strait of Hormuz amid US threats
TEHRAN - Russia and China vetoed a United Nations Security Council resolution on Tuesday that sought to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, hours before a US-imposed deadline for Iran to allow transit or face attacks on its infrastructure. The heavily watered-down measure, which passed with 11 votes in favor, two against, and two abstentions, had removed any language authorizing offensive action, limiting it to “defensive means necessary” for securing navigation. Even in its weakened form, the resolution was blocked by Moscow and Beijing, underscoring growing opposition to US and Israeli aggression against Iran.

‘Strait of Hormuz is Iran's geo-economic asset’
TEHRAN– A political economy analyst, emphasizing that the Strait of Hormuz is no longer merely a security tool or a military leverage point but rather a "geo-economic asset," believes that Iran has borne the cost of securing, monitoring, and managing this vital waterway for decades without receiving a proportionate economic return from the global economy.

How Iranians would respond to a US ground invasion—particularly on its islands
TEHRAN - When U.S. President Donald Trump, alongside Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu, ordered the assassination of Iran’s Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, on February 28, initial reports in Hebrew media suggested the American-Israeli strikes would continue for up to 72 hours.

Iran and the governance of maritime circulation
MADRID – Four weeks into the U.S and Israeli offensive against Iran, the centre of gravity has shifted from contested airspace to a narrow maritime corridor less than 30 kilometres wide.

Four weeks later, that premise appears increasingly detached from realities at sea.
