UN chief welcomes Hormuz reopening, urges full freedom of navigation
Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Friday welcomed Iran's agreement to stop blocking the Strait of Hormuz and urged full freedom for shipping through the crucial waterway.
"The secretary-general considers this a step in the right direction.
The United Nations' position remains clear: we need the full restoration of international navigational rights and freedoms in the Strait of Hormuz to be respected by all parties," Guterres' spokesman Stephane Dujarric said.
