JAKARTA - The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) adopted a resolution drafted by Bahrain containing demands that Iran end attacks on Gulf countries.

However, the resolution does not mention the military attacks from the United States and Israel against the Islamic Republic, according to a report by RIA Novosti correspondent, as reported by ANTARA, Thursday, March 12.

Thirteen countries voted in favor of the document, while Russia and China abstained.

The resolution condemned Iran's attacks on Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan, and demanded that the attacks be stopped immediately.

The resolution also did not mention US and Israeli aggression, nor did it call on the two countries to stop attacks on Iran.

On Wednesday afternoon, the Council is scheduled to vote on a Russian-drafted UN Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire in the Middle East.
