Faktisch blockierte Meerenge: Zwei Schiffe der Emirate in Straße von Hormus angegriffen
Erneut ist es in der für den Welthandel wichtigen Meerenge zu einem Angriff auf die Handelsschifffahrt gekommen. Die Emirate beschuldigen den Iran der Piraterie.
Abu Dhabi – Two state-owned Emirati oil companies, Adnoc, have been attacked in the Strait of Hormuz. No one was injured, according to the official Emirati news agency WAM. Initial reports did not mention any damage to the vessels. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) strongly condemned the attack, blaming Iran, and labeled it a severe violation of UN Security Council Resolution 2817, which reaffirms the freedom of navigation.
The UAE's Foreign Ministry emphasized that such attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz constitute "acts of piracy" and pose a direct threat to regional stability, its population, and global energy security. The ministry added that Iran must stop these "provocative acts" and ensure the Strait's full reopening. The ongoing war between the US and Israel and Iran has nearly halted shipping in the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.
While the warring parties have been negotiating for a complete reopening for some time, their efforts have not yet borne fruit. Iran has demanded reopening alongside an end to all US threats against the country, lifting the Iranian port blockade, withdrawal of US forces from the region, and full compensation for war damages.
