Amir Saeid Iravani has delivered a strong statement at the United Nations, declaring that Iran is not bound by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
Speaking during a high-level session, Iravani accused the United States and Israel of waging what he described as an unlawful war and imposing a maritime blockade that threatens regional stability.
He warned that key global shipping routes, particularly the Strait of Hormuz, are increasingly at risk due to rising military activity and ongoing tensions.
According to Iravani, Iran’s actions are lawful and necessary to defend its sovereignty and ensure national security in the face of external pressure.
He also criticized what he called unilateral measures that undermine international law and disrupt global trade and navigation.
The remarks come as geopolitical tensions in the region continue to escalate, with competing claims over maritime rights and security responsibilities.
Analysts say the situation is becoming more complex, as both sides maintain firm positions while diplomatic efforts struggle to find common ground.
The potential impact on global energy supplies and commercial shipping has raised concerns among international observers and economic stakeholders.
Despite the sharp rhetoric, calls for dialogue and restraint continue, with many urging all parties to avoid further escalation.
As the situation evolves, attention remains on whether diplomacy can ease tensions or if the dispute will deepen, affecting regional and global stability.
