It was 13 votes on the Council in favour, two abstentions,\u201d Al Jazeera\u2019s Gabriel Elizondo said, reporting from UN headquarters in New York.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoth China and Russia abstained but notably decided not to use their veto power to block this resolution, probably because it got a lot of support, not only in the Security Council but with other member states \u2013 135 other countries cosponsored this resolution that has now been adopted,\u201d Elizondo said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe that this is the largest number of countries ever to cosponsor a Security Council draft resolution,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The resolution condemns Iran\u2019s attacks, demands an immediate halt to hostilities, and deplores Tehran\u2019s targeting of infrastructure such as ports and energy facilities in the Gulf region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe resolution is very clear; it is now part of international law. The question becomes, will Iran abide by it? We will find out in the coming hours and days,\u201d Elizondo said.<\/p>\n<h3>\u2018Profound regret\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>After the vote, Iran\u2019s UN Ambassador Amir-Saeid Iravani addressed the Council, expressing his \u201cprofound regret\u201d at the adoption of the resolution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a deeply regrettable day for the Security Council and for the international community. Today\u2019s adoption is a serious setback to the Council\u2019s credibility and leaves a lasting stain on its record,\u201d Iravani said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday\u2019s action represents a blatant misuse of the Security Council mandate,\u201d he said, blasting the United States for its \u201cbarbaric war against the Iranian people\u201d and for starting the conflict, including killing Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis resolution is a manifest injustice against my country, the main victim of a clear act of aggression. It distorts the realities on the ground and deliberately ignores the root causes of the current crisis,\u201d Iravani said, accusing the US and Israel of being behind the resolution.<\/p>\n<p>Iravani also said more than 1,348 civilians have been killed and more than 17,000 injured since the US and Israel launched their attack on February 28, including the \u201cmassacre of 170 schoolgirls in Minab\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>More than 19,000 civilian sites, including residential homes and hospitals, have also been damaged, he added.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing the council, Russia\u2019s ambassador to the UN, Vassily Nebenzia, said his country abstained from the vote on the draft resolution \u201cbecause it was extremely unbalanced\u201d and would not fulfil the purpose \u201cof meeting international peace and security\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe regret the situation that Middle Eastern countries find themselves in. Moreover, we think it unacceptable to strike civilian infrastructure of Arab states in the Gulf,\u201d Nebenzia said.<\/p>\n<p>China\u2019s ambassador to the UN Zhang Jun told the council that the conflict had \u201cneither legitimacy nor legal basis\u201d and the US and Israel must cease their attacks to prevent further deterioration of the regional situation.<\/p>\n<p>The UNSC also voted, but failed to pass, a draft resolution put forward by Moscow on Wednesday that called on all sides to cease military action in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UN Security Council draft resolution demanding Iran end its attacks on Gulf nations was cosponsored by 135 countries.
