America is responsible for the insecurity in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran's representative in the UN Security Council: Washington and its supporters are responsible for the insecurity in the Strait of Hormuz and the disruption of shipping in the area. The naval blockade concerning Iran is a violation of the United Nations Charter and an example of collective punishment of civilians. The US naval blockade threatens citizens' access to food, medicine, fuel and other essential items and amounts to imposing collective punishment on the people of Iran.
