Cooperation Secretary-General Condemns Iran's Navigation Disruption
The Gulf Cooperation Council countries rejected Iran's accusations of disrupting international navigation by closing the Strait of Hormuz during a joint ministerial meeting with the ASEAN Union. They regarded this as a blatant violation of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 1982. The Secretary-General of the Council confirmed that Iran has carried out over 7,000 missile and drone attacks on vital facilities since February, causing human and material losses. He clarified that the member states had not been involved in the war and have been making efforts to mediate and exercise restraint. He emphasized the need to comply with Security Council resolutions and restore normal navigation activity, asserting rejection of unilateral measures that impose fees or conditions on the right of passage, and holding Iran legally responsible and demanding compensation for damages. He also highlighted the importance of strengthening regional cooperation between the Gulf and Asia to promote stability and development in both regions.
