The United Nations warned Friday that civilian vessels and commercial shipping remain under attack around the Strait of Hormuz, putting seafarers' lives and global trade at risk.

“Civilian vessels and commercial shipping must not become targets,” the UN said in a post on X, quoting Assistant Secretary-General Khaled Khiari.

The UN reiterated Khiari's call for an immediate end to attacks on civilian ships and the restoration of safe maritime navigation through the strategic waterway.

Khiari made the remarks during a UN Security Council meeting Friday on escalating tensions in the Persian Gulf, where member states discussed attacks on regional countries and disruptions to maritime shipping.
