UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres aims for the Strait of Hormuz to revert to its former state, as per his spokesperson. The UN is optimistic about the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed between the US and Iran regarding the strait. Emphasizing the importance of upholding commitments, the UN calls for the Strait of Hormuz to reopen sustainably, ensuring freedom of navigation.
The spokesperson stressed the need for all parties to focus on regional and global stability. The Strait of Hormuz, a vital energy shipping route, faced disruptions following conflicts involving the US, Israel, and Iran. Despite temporary closures and toll imposition, efforts are being made to restore normal operations in the strait.
Following the MoU signing, the strait briefly reopened but faced closure again due to continued conflicts. The UN urges all involved parties to prioritize the broader interests of stability in the region and globally.
