The Gulf states renewed their call on the international community, particularly the Security Council, to condemn these attacks, assume its responsibilities, and take a firm stance to ensure safe passage through international waterways and guarantee freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz without restrictions or transit and service fees, in accordance with international law and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, considering it a fundamental pillar for energy security, food and medicine supplies, and the flow of global trade, and to take necessary measures for a permanent, immediate, and unconditional cessation of all Iranian hostile acts, a sustainable and unconditional reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and rejection of any unilateral and illegitimate mechanisms or arrangements.
