# GCC Condemns Attacks on Emirati Tankers in Strait of Hormuz
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) has condemned attacks on two Emirati oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. GCC Secretary-General Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi characterized the incident as an "explicit violation" of UN Security Council Resolution 2817, which calls for the protection of vessels in the region.
The attacks represent a security incident in one of the world's most critical maritime chokepoints. The Strait of Hormuz serves as a crucial waterway for global oil transportation, making incidents involving commercial vessels a matter of regional and international concern.
The GCC's formal condemnation underscores the organization's position that such attacks violate international maritime law and UN resolutions designed to maintain freedom of navigation and security in the Persian Gulf region.
