Iran tells UN: ‘Non-hostile’ ships can transit Strait of Hormuz

The US-Israeli war against Iran has all but halted shipments of about one-fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas through the strait, causing oil supply disruption. – Iran tells UN: ‘Non-hostile’ ships can transit Strait of Hormuz
