UN Secretary-General Cautions on Global Food Crisis Amid Strait of Hormuz Disruptions

The UN Secretary-General has warned that disruptions in maritime chokepoints, particularly the Strait of Hormuz, are severely jeopardizing global trade and food supplies. Transits through the Strait are near a standstill, impacting energy, fertilizers, and essential commodities. Iran and Oman are discussing a temporary reopening, but Tehran demands the U.S. lift its naval blockade and end the war for full resumption.
