UN Secretary-General António Guterres has called for ensuring open and secure passage through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global shipping route. His remarks come amid rising tensions in the Middle East, where any disruption could significantly impact international trade and energy supplies. The Strait of Hormuz handles a major share of the world’s oil shipments, making it a critical artery for the global economy.
Analysts warn that instability in the region could drive up energy prices, disrupt supply chains, and escalate geopolitical risks, prompting calls for international cooperation to safeguard maritime security and freedom of navigation. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn News English is your window into the latest news, insight, and features from South Asia and beyond.
