Why it matters

The resolution, supported by six Gulf nations and Jordan, comes as countries around the world feel the impact of the disruption of the flow of oil as the Strait, which carries a quarter of the world's oil.

Common ground

The Associated Press reported that the final draft of the resolution, which it obtained, significantly waters down earlier proposals.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
