Strait of Hormuz: UN Warns US and Iran on Human Rights

The United Nations expressed concern over renewed tensions between the US and Iran. UN High Commissioner Volker Türk warned against a new closure of the Strait of Hormuz, vital for oil, food, and medicine transport. The UN calls for de-escalation and ceasefire, as prolonged disruption could affect populations beyond the Middle East and impact fundamental rights, including access to healthcare and food.
