United Nations Secretary-General urges the opening of the Strait of Hormuz.

UN Secretary-General Guterres spoke at the UN Security Council's open debate on "Maritime Safety and Protection in the Field" on the 27th, urging relevant parties to open the Strait of Hormuz. Guterres said that the right of ships to navigate through the Strait of Hormuz must be respected, and the principles established by the UN Security Council on this matter must be "fully and immediately" defended. He urged relevant parties to open the Strait of Hormuz, allowing ships to pass through without fees or discrimination, resuming trade and giving the global economy a chance to breathe. Guterres said that the current situation requires restraint, dialogue, and trust-building from all parties. Conflicts should be resolved peacefully, and he is willing to mediate. He urged all parties to abide by international law, address the root causes of maritime security issues, and deepen dialogue and cooperation.
