International Maritime Organization Urges Rejecting Iran's Efforts to Control the Strait of Hormuz
The International Maritime Organization has recommended rejecting Iran's attempts to assert sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, and urged countries not to recognize any Iranian right to control the vital passage, through which a fifth of the world's energy supplies pass. It emphasized that Iran's establishment of a authority to oversee navigation in the strait constitutes a unilateral decision that conflicts with the sovereignty of the bordering states. The organization called for not recognizing Iran's efforts to hinder international navigation. These statements come amid escalating tensions between the United States and Iran, with exchanges of airstrikes and attacks on maritime ships, threatening global oil supplies and the stability of navigation in the region.
