80 Nations Demand Hormuz Reopening at UN, Condemn Iran and Houthi Attacks

The United Nations General Assembly convened on September 24, 2026, where 80 nations urged the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments. The countries specifically condemned attacks by Iran and the Houthi group, which have targeted commercial and military vessels in the strait. The attacks, which occurred in late August 2026, led to a temporary closure of the strait and raised concerns over the security of international trade routes.
