60 nations urge safeguarding free navigation
Sixty countries have endorsed a declaration aimed at preserving freedom of navigation and opposing the imposition of illegal fees or discriminatory restrictions on vital maritime passages, particularly the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb. The ongoing Iranian escalation, which heightens instability in the region and threatens international maritime security and trade movements, remains a concern. Warnings have been issued about the repercussions of targeting these passages on regional security and supply chains. Experts emphasize that continued escalation complicates the situation and increases risks to freedom of navigation, calling on the international community to take measures to deter these practices and ensure the security of maritime routes.
