Iran has informed the United Nations Security Council and the International Maritime Organization that “non-hostile vessels” may transit the Strait of Hormuz if they coordinate with Iranian authorities, according to a note seen by Reuters on Tuesday, March 24.

The US-Israeli war against Iran has effectively halted shipments of about one-fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas through the strait, disrupting global oil supply.

The note from Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs was sent to the 15-member Security Council and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Sunday, March 22. It was then circulated on Tuesday among the 176 members of the London-based UN shipping agency responsible for regulating international shipping safety, security, and pollution prevention.

Iran has “taken necessary and proportionate measures to prevent the aggressors and their supporters from exploiting the Strait of Hormuz to advance hostile operations against Iran,” it added, specifying that vessels, equipment, and any assets belonging to the US or Israel, “as well as other participants in the aggression, do not qualify for innocent or non-hostile passage.”

The Financial Times first reported that the letter had been circulated among IMO member states on Tuesday. – Rappler.com
