Council Gulf Briefing

At Bahrain’s request, the UN Security Council held a briefing on security developments in the Gulf and their regional and international implications, and heard briefings from two UN and Gulf officials. Bahrain said that GCC countries and Jordan had been subjected to nearly 7,000 Iranian attacks, and that around 1,600 ships had been disrupted in the Strait of Hormuz, with more than 23,000 seafarers stranded aboard. Bahrain and the GCC states called for the implementation of Security Council resolutions, accountability for those responsible for the attacks, and guarantees of freedom of navigation and the security of maritime routes, while stressing the importance of dialogue and de-escalation.
