Iran urges UN to condemn US naval blockade in Strait of Hormuz

Iran’s envoy to the United Nations has asked the UN secretary-general and the president of the Security Council to reject and condemn the US naval blockade of Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf.

According to the official IRNA news agency, the Iranian ambassador, Gholamhossein Darzi, called on the Security Council to urge the US to stop military aggression against Iran and lift the naval blockade.

In a letter to the UN, Darzi said Iran would exercise its right to self-defence in response to any act of aggression.

 Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) threatens to invade any country that attacks it as the military shifts to an “offensive and asymmetrical” defence doctrine, according to its spokesperson Hossein Mohebbi.
