Storyline


UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is deeply worried about the current situation of the Strait of Hormuz and the possible economic and humanitarian impacts it may bring, his spokesman Stephane Dujarric said Thursday.

The Strait of Hormuz, an important international corridor for cargo and energy trade, has experienced significant disruptions due to recent U.S. and Israeli war against Iran.

Speaking at a press conference at the UN headquarters, Dujarric said that this is a world that is still very much addicted to fossil fuels.

"We all know, if as soon as the price of energy, of oil, of fossil fuels go up, it has a direct impact on just about everything, including UN operations," said Dujarric.

Hostilities are increasingly affecting civilians, humanitarian operations and essential supply routes due to rising tensions in the region, said the spokesman.

"Disruptions to airspace and transportation corridors continue to affect the movement of humanitarian supplies and personnel, as well as commercial goods. This puts supply chains at risk and could have broader implications for the availability and cost of essential food, fuel and medical supplies," he said.

A senior Iranian military advisor said on Monday that the country's armed forces will not let any oil be exported through the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran has not closed the Strait of Hormuz, local media reported on Thursday, citing a military official.
