UN Maritime Chief Warns Against Blocking Strait of Hormuz Amid US-Iran Tensions

KATHMANDU. The head of the United Nations' maritime agency has stated that no country has the legal authority to block vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, which has been disrupted due to the US-Iran conflict.

International Maritime Organization Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez told reporters, "It would be wrong for access to the Strait of Hormuz to be blocked six weeks after the war began following attacks by the US and Israel against Iran."
