Iran has agreed to allow humanitarian aid ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s busiest oil shipping lanes and a key narrow passage in the ongoing conflict, India’s state news agency News on Air reported on Saturday (March 28).
\nThe report said that Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, Ali Bahreni, said that “despite the ongoing attacks on nuclear facilities, Tehran has accepted a request from the United Nations to allow humanitarian aid and agricultural goods to pass through this vital waterway.” He said, “The ban on fertilizers has threatened agriculture and food security around the world. So this will be the first groundbreaking step in this narrow waterway after a month of war.”
\nIn a post on social media, Bahreni said, “This step reflects Iran’s continued commitment to supporting humanitarian efforts and ensuring that emergency aid quickly reaches those in need.” Meanwhile, as the world reels from the effects of the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the United Nations has announced a task force to address its humanitarian crisis. In this context, Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, said, \u201cThe team, led by Under-Secretary-General Jorge Moreira da Silva, will develop a mechanism for the transfer of essential fertilizers and related raw materials to avoid agricultural crises.\u201d He explained, \u201cThe main objective of the team is to formulate and propose technical mechanisms specifically designed to meet humanitarian needs in the Strait of Hormuz.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
