He emphasized the importance of implementing agreements, stressing that all parties must adhere to the commitments they accept within the framework of any agreement.


Dujarric also said that maintaining stability in the region and the world is of the utmost importance, and all involved parties must consider not only their existing disputes but also the security of seafarers and the broader interests of the international community.


According to the UN spokesperson, thousands of shipping sector workers are still present in difficult conditions along this maritime route—individuals who play a vital role in transporting essential goods for people around the world.


The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most important maritime routes, with nearly 20 percent of the world's crude oil passing through this waterway daily. This passage, located between Iran and Oman, serves as the primary route for transporting oil from Gulf Cooperation Council countries to markets in Asia, Europe, and the United States. Any disruption to ship traffic through this route could quickly impact the global energy market, drive up oil prices, and lead to economic consequences, including rising inflation, in various countries.


Experts believe that ensuring the sustainable reopening of the Strait of Hormuz can only be achieved through dialogue and cooperation among all stakeholders, including Iran, the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf, the United States, and other global powers.


In recent months, the United Nations has repeatedly emphasized the need to respect international maritime law, particularly the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. The organization has expressed hope that through diplomatic efforts, tensions will ease and full security for commercial ships in this vital waterway will be established.


These remarks come at a time when diplomatic consultations to reduce tensions in the Persian Gulf are ongoing, and developments in the region are being closely watched with concern by the international community.

Stéphane Dujarric, spokesperson for the United Nations, has stated that the organization expects the Strait of Hormuz to remain sustainably and uninterruptedly open for the passage of ships based on the principle of freedom of navigation.
