UN Secretary-General António Guterres has called for the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, urging all parties to respect navigational freedoms and restore global trade flows. Addressing the United Nations Security Council, he warned that ongoing disruptions are triggering severe shocks to energy markets, food supplies, and supply chains worldwide. Guterres stressed that the strait—vital for oil, gas, and fertilizer trade—must remain open without tolls or restrictions. He cautioned that continued blockage risks deepening economic instability, escalating costs, and prolonging global supply disruptions.
