UN agencies called for de-escalation and diplomatic efforts on Monday to address escalating attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route between the United States and Iran. Both Washington and Tehran have claimed control of the waterway, which has experienced a recent spike in strikes linked to US-Iran tensions.
The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world's most strategically important commercial shipping channels. The escalating military activity in the region has prompted international concern, with UN agencies emphasizing the need for dialogue to reduce tensions and prevent further conflict.
The calls for diplomacy reflect broader concerns about regional stability and the impact of US-Iran hostilities on global commerce and international security.
