UN maritime agency condemns Iran's Strait of Hormuz actions, calls for free passage

The UN's International Maritime Organisation condemned Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz and threats to ships, demanding Iran cease attacks and remove sea mines to restore free passage. The UAE, which tabled the decision, welcomed it as defending international maritime law. While Iran says the strait is open, the IMO is now focusing on evacuating stranded ships and seafarers, and cracking down on fraudulent ship registrations. https://www.thenationalnews.com/news/uk/2026/04/17/uae-welcomes-imo-condemnation-of-iranian-actions-in-strait-of-hormuz/

Good. The strait needs to stay open for everyone. This affects global trade.

The IMO has no teeth. Condemnation won't stop Iran from acting if they feel threatened. Empty words.
