Russia and China used their veto power to block a UN Security Council resolution aimed at ensuring safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.
The resolution, proposed by Bahrain, was supported by 11 countries but failed due to the double veto; Pakistan and Colombia abstained.
The strait is a critical route through which nearly one-fifth of the world’s oil passes.
It urged countries to protect commercial ships and called on Iran to stop attacks on vessels.
Former US President Donald Trump warned Iran of strong military action if the strait is not reopened.
The development has raised fresh concerns about global oil supply and regional security.
