Adopted on March 11, 2026, United Nations Security Council Resolution 2817 (2026) condemned Iran's "egregious attacks" against the Gulf states (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE) and Jordan during the 2026 Iran war. It also condemned Iran's attacks on ships transiting through the Strait of Hormuz.

The resolution was sponsored by Bahrain,[1][2] and received approval from 13 members. China and Russia abstained from voting, with both countries criticising the text's lack of any reference to the US and Israeli strikes on Iran that triggered the conflict on February 28.[3]
