GCC chief urges UN to halt Iranian attacks, protect Gulf waterways
"The UNSC must take all necessary means to protect maritime corridors and guarantee the uninterrupted maritime navigation through all strategic waterways in the region, al-Budaiwi said."
"The GCC reaffirms the urgent need to immediately halt these attacks; restore security, stability and calm in the region, and ensure the safety of air and maritime navigation."
"Iran has carried out daily missile and drone attacks across the Middle East, including in Arab Gulf nations, since the United States and Israel launched a war against the country on February 28."
"Iran has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, a key Gulf waterway through which about one-fifth of the world's oil and liquified natural gas supplies transit, sending global energy prices skyrocketing."
Jassim al-Budaiwi, the GCC Secretary-General, called on the UN Security Council to take immediate action against Iranian attacks in the Gulf. He condemned these strikes as violations of international law and emphasized the need for the UNSC to protect maritime corridors. Al-Budaiwi insisted that the six GCC states must be included in any negotiations with Iran to enhance regional security. He highlighted the importance of restoring stability and ensuring the safety of maritime navigation and global energy markets amid ongoing Iranian missile and drone attacks.
