Countries must reject Iran's efforts to control Strait of Hormuz, UN agency document says

The UN shipping agency has strongly advised nations to disregard Iran's assertion of control over the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial passage for global oil shipments. This waterway is vital for international trade, and any attempt by Iran to monopolize it could significantly disrupt global oil supply and escalate geopolitical tensions. The call to reject Iran's claims underscores the international community's commitment to maintaining free and open maritime routes, which are essential for global economic stability.
