UN establishes task force to secure humanitarian shipping through Strait of Hormuz
UN Secretary-General António Guterres has set up a dedicated task force to address navigation challenges in the Strait of Hormuz and protect the flow of humanitarian goods through the waterway.
The group will be led by the head of the UN Office for Project Services and will include representatives from trade, maritime, and commerce bodies, with room to expand further.
The task force will work on technical mechanisms to keep humanitarian cargo moving, with a particular focus on fertiliser trade and related materials, drawing on lessons from previous UN initiatives including the Black Sea Grain Initiative and the Yemen inspection mechanism.
Work will be carried out in consultation with relevant member states and in accordance with international law.
The Secretary-General has also tasked his personal envoy Jean Arnault with leading political dialogue with relevant parties, supported by the new task force, as part of broader efforts toward a comprehensive resolution to the conflict.
The UN warned that prolonged disruption to the strait – a critical artery for global energy and essential goods – could severely impact food security and agricultural production in the months ahead, with significant humanitarian consequences.
Officials said a successful outcome could build confidence in diplomatic efforts and open the door to wider political solutions in the region.

Arab Parliament condemns Iran’s missile and drone attacks on Arab states as violations of international law
Arab Parliament President Mohamed bin Ahmed Al Yamahi condemned Iran’s ongoing missile and drone strikes against multiple Arab countries, describing them as a “flagrant violation of all rules of international law and the principles of the United Nations Charter, and a direct threat to regional security and stability.”
He said the targeting of infrastructure and the resulting casualties demonstrate contempt for international humanitarian law and an intent to destabilise the region.
Al Yamahi held the Iranian regime fully accountable for the attacks and called on the international community to take an immediate and firm stance to halt what he described as Iran’s aggressive policies.
He reaffirmed the Arab Parliament’s full support for all legitimate measures taken by targeted Arab nations to defend their sovereignty and protect their people.
