Tehran has asked Russia to prevent the adoption of Bahrain's draft resolution on the Strait of Hormuz, as it will only complicate the situation, an Iranian diplomatic source told reporters.

"We asked Russia not to allow the adoption of Bahrain's draft resolution, as it will only complicate the situation," he said.

Earlier, the Financial Times newspaper reported, citing sources, that the UAE, together with Bahrain, is working on a UN Security Council resolution that will mandate operations to restore shipping in The Strait of Hormuz, but the source of the newspaper said that Russia and China may oppose this step.

On February 28, the United States and Israel began striking targets in Iran, including Tehran. Iran is carrying out retaliatory strikes on Israeli territory, as well as on American military facilities in the Middle East region. Due to the escalation of the conflict, shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has practically stopped. This is a key supply route to the global oil and LNG market. As a result, fuel prices are rising in most countries of the world.
