newsbomb.gr (Greek)

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres proposed Monday that the UN assist in transporting fertilizers through the Strait of Hormuz, aiming to reduce risks and support smoother transit. The proposal includes a mechanism to register and verify ships carrying fertilizers, with an incident prevention system piloted by Oman. Guterres stressed the UN would not approve transits or alter states' rights under international law. The initiative seeks to restore trust for diplomacy and de-escalation in the region. The UN is ready to activate the mechanism, though not all involved countries have accepted the proposal.
