Report: The UN Security Council is set to vote on "a watered-down proposal to open Strait of Hormuz".

Veto-wielding members Russia, China & France had opposed the first draft, which had approved the use of force.

The current proposal authorises countries "to use all defensive means necessary to secure passage & deter attempts to interfere with international navigation for a period of at least six months."
