India was among the co-sponsors of a United Nations Security Council resolution condemning Iranian attacks on Gulf countries and Jordan. The 15-member Council adopted it with 13 votes in favour, while China and Russia abstained.
The resolution denounced strikes on Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, demanded an immediate end to hostilities and cautioned against any threat to shut the Strait of Hormuz. India's support reflects its concern for stability in the region and the safety of its large diaspora in the Gulf.
