UN Maritime Body Calls on States to Reject Iranian Hormuz Control
🌐 IMO — A UN body draws a legal line Iran already crossed in practice. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: The IMO document labels Iranian Hormuz control illegitimate while IRGC toll enforcement already runs at 35 ships daily. It gives member states legal cover to escort vessels or sanction Iran's route regime without invoking Article 51. For Gulf states now kinetically engaged, that's political insulation. Tehran can no longer formalize what it's collecting.
