Cairo : The League of Arab States condemned Iran’s targeting of two tankers belonging to the United Arab Emirates while they were crossing the Strait of Hormuz yesterday evening, in a blatant and unacceptable violation of international law and United Nations Security Council Resolution 2817.
In a statement, the League stressed that the recurrence of these Iranian violations poses a direct threat to freedom of maritime navigation, as well as has serious repercussions for international trade and global energy security.
It affirmed the need to respect the rules of international law and the law of the sea, calling on Iran to halt these escalatory actions and refrain from any practices that could threaten the security and safety of maritime navigation.
