The UN Security Council adopted resolution 2817 on 11 March, addressing Iranian attacks against Gulf countries and Jordan. Bahrain introduced the text on behalf of the Gulf Cooperation Council. The Council's monthly account records support from 136 co-sponsors, underlining the diplomatic reach of the initiative beyond the countries directly affected.
The decision formed part of an intensifying international response to the Middle East crisis. A separate Russian draft did not pass. The proceedings illustrate both the Council's ability to agree on a specific condemnation and the continuing divisions over a wider response to the conflict. Adoption of a resolution does not itself establish that hostilities have ended or that its demands have been implemented.
