UN weighs action against Iran for attacks on Gulf states

The UN Security Council could vote today, March 11, on a draft resolution condemning missile and drone attacks by Iran against countries in the Persian Gulf and Jordan, according to Arab News, citing diplomats.

The draft resolution calls on Tehran to immediately cease strikes on Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan, Caliber.Az reports, citing foreign media.

On February 28, 2026, the US and Israel launched large-scale airstrikes on Iran, killing senior IRGC and government officials and hitting nearly 20 cities, including civilian sites. Iran responded the same day and has continued daily/near-daily waves of ballistic missiles and drones.

Iran explicitly targeted US military facilities hosted in the Gulf states and Jordan. Most incoming projectiles have been intercepted, but there have been civilian casualties, infrastructure damage, fires, and debris impacts. Iran has also struck vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
