Nearly 100 UN Member States Condemn Iran’s Strait of Hormuz Attacks as Threat to Global Economy

Representatives from nearly one hundred United Nations member states have issued a joint statement condemning recent Iranian attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, characterizing the strikes as a direct threat to the global economy. The diplomatic condemnation underscores growing international concern over disruptions to the strategic waterway, which serves as a critical artery for international maritime trade and energy shipments.

In Washington, the White House confirmed that the national security team of President Donald Trump is currently reviewing a peace proposal submitted by Iranian officials. The proposal aims to halt ongoing hostilities and facilitate the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. According to administration officials, accepting the terms of the proposal would temporarily postpone scheduled negotiations regarding Iran’s nuclear program.

White House spokesperson Caroline Leavitt stated that while the proposal is under active review, Washington’s established red lines remain unchanged. The assessment is being conducted directly by the president’s national security team rather than through the formal National Security Council, which operates under specific statutory membership requirements. This approach allows for a more flexible evaluation of the diplomatic overture.

Iranian authorities have not yet issued a public response to the joint statement released by the United Nations representatives. The international community continues to monitor the situation as diplomatic channels remain open to address the security and economic implications of the regional tensions.
