Day 34 of Middle East conflict — Oil prices surge as Trump’s Iran war speech fails to calm nerves

• Opening the strait: The UN Security Council is set to vote Friday on a Bahraini proposal that would authorize countries to use “all defensive means necessary” to secure the Strait of Hormuz. More than 40 countries attended a virtual meeting to discuss reopening the waterway Thursday, as US President Donald Trump railed against allies over their handling of the issue.

• Iran’s capabilities: US intelligence assessments have found that Iran maintains significant missile launching capability despite more than a month of heavy US-Israeli bombardment, sources told CNN. Tehran remains poised to “wreak absolute havoc” throughout the region, one of the sources said.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Bahrain has significantly watered down a proposed U.N. resolution on reopening the Strait of Hormuz amid opposition from China and Russia about allowing countries to use force to secure the critical waterway Iran has largely cut off to global shipping.

The final draft of the proposal, obtained Thursday by The Associated Press, authorizes defensive — but not offensive — action to ensure vessels can safely transit the strait. One-fifth of the world’s oil typically passes through the waterway, where Iran’s stranglehold during the war has sent energy prices soaring.
