‼️🇨🇳🇺🇸🇮🇷| China's representative to the United Nations and the rotating president of the Security Council criticized the draft resolution proposed by the United States and Bahrain regarding the Strait of Hormuz, saying that "its content and timing are inappropriate and its adoption will not help."

According to Reuters, the draft resolution calls on Iran to stop attacks and laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz. However, diplomats said that if this resolution is put to a vote, it will likely face vetoes from Russia and China.

The two countries also vetoed a similar resolution supported by the United States last month and described its text as "biased" against Iran.

‼️🇺🇸🇮🇷🇮🇱| New York Times report:

The Pentagon is preparing to resume the war on Iran in the coming days, perhaps under a new name rather than "epic fury." Two Middle East officials said the United States and Israel are making intensive preparations - the largest since the ceasefire went into effect - for the possibility of renewed attacks on Iran as early as next week. If Trump decides to resume the attacks, the options include more aggressive bombing waves against military targets and infrastructure in Iran, and another possibility is sending special forces to the ground in order to reach nuclear materials buried deep underground. The possible operation to remove enriched uranium from Iran would involve hundreds of fighters from the U.S. Army's 82nd Airborne Division, and these forces may also participate in the operation to capture Kharg Island.
