Iran foreign minister Araghchi told Portugal foreign minister Paulo Rangel at a UN General Assembly meeting that insecurity in the Strait of Hormuz and disruptions to shipping are a direct result of U.S. and Israeli "aggressive actions." He said restoring maritime security requires halting destabilizing acts and U.S. "economic terrorism," and urged the EU and its member states to take an independent, responsible stance consistent with international law on the West Asia situation.
