China and Russia vetoed a Bahrain-backed U.N. Security Council resolution aimed at coordinating efforts to protect commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, according to Reuters.

The 15-member council voted 11 in favor, with China and Russia opposing and two abstentions. “The draft resolution has not been adopted, owing to the negative vote of a permanent member of the Council,” Bahrain’s Foreign Minister Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani told the Council.
