France is working on a new UN Security Council resolution aimed at unblocking the Strait of Hormuz, a diplomatic source told reporters.
"France wants to work with the Americans and its partners on a Security Council resolution guaranteeing freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz," the source said.
In April, Russia and China vetoed a draft resolution -- spearheaded by Bahrain and backed by Gulf states and the United States -- that also called for the Strait of Hormuz to be unblocked.
