<p>This follows comments by the Secretary-General of the UN, Antonio Guterres, who called for the opening of the Strait of Hormuz.</p>
<p>In a post on X, he said, "The prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz is choking the movement of oil, gas, and fertiliser at a critical moment in the global planting season. Across the region and beyond, civilians are enduring serious harm and living under profound insecurity. The UN is working to minimise the consequences of the war. And the best way to minimise those consequences is clear: End the war - immediately."</p>

<p>Guterres urged the US and Israel to end the war in West Asia.</p>
<p>"My message to the <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/world-news/article/us-israel-attack-iran-reopening-strait-of-hormuz-key-to-cooling-global-oil-prices-american-petroleum-institute-ceo-23622482" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">US and Israel</a> is that it's high time to end the war - as human suffering deepens, civilian casualties mount and the global economic impact is increasingly devastating. My message to Iran is to stop attacking their neighbours that are not parties to the conflict," he said.</p>
