Where Things Stand
Russia and China vetoed a United Nations resolution to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to commercial ships. The plan received 11 votes in favor but failed because of the two vetoes. This leaves a critical global shipping lane blocked as international leaders fail to agree on a plan to end the standoff with Iran.
