No U.N. Security Council resolution specific to the U.S.-Iran war was adopted before the question's Aug. 14, 2026 deadline. The Council's most recent formal actions on the conflict came months earlier: Resolution 2817, condemning Iran's attacks on Gulf states, passed 13-0 with China and Russia abstaining on March 11, 2026, and in early April 2026 Russia and China vetoed a follow-up, watered-down draft aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz to shipping, with the vote going 11 in favor, two against and two abstentions. Russia's U.N. envoy said Moscow rejected the April text as "unbalanced" for omitting the initial U.S.-Israeli strikes that started the war on Feb. 28, 2026. That veto left the Council without further binding action on the war going into August, reflecting the persistent divide between Western members pushing for pressure on Iran and Russia and China resisting measures they saw as one-sided. The community correctly forecast no new resolution would pass (0% yes), consistent with the continued deadlock.
