United Nations: The situation in the Strait of Hormuz will impact energy prices and jeopardize humanitarian operations.

On the 5th local time, UN Secretary-General spokesperson Dujarric stated that UN Secretary-General Guterres is deeply concerned about the current situation in the Strait of Hormuz and its potential economic and humanitarian impacts. Dujarric, the spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General, said, "We all know that as long as the prices of energy, oil, or fossil fuels rise, it will have a direct impact on almost everything, including the operations of the United Nations." When discussing the current humanitarian situation in Iran, Dujarric stated that ongoing conflicts are increasingly affecting civilians, humanitarian actions, and critical supply routes. The interruption of airspace and transit corridors continues to affect the flow of humanitarian goods and personnel, as well as commercial goods transportation. This poses risks to supply chains, and may have more widespread impacts on the supply and prices of basic food, fuel, and medical supplies.
