We condemn in the strongest terms recent attacks by Iran on unarmed commercial vessels in the Gulf, attacks on civilian infrastructure including oil and gas installations, and the de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iranian forces.
We express our deep concern about the escalating conflict. We call on Iran to cease immediately its threats, laying of mines, drone and missile attacks and other attempts to block the Strait to commercial shipping, and to comply with UN Security Council Resolution 2817.
Freedom of navigation is a fundamental principle of international law, including under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
The effects of Iran’s actions will be felt by people in all parts of the world, especially the most vulnerable.
Consistent with UNSC Resolution 2817, we emphasise that such interference with international shipping and the disruption of global energy supply chains constitute a threat to international peace and security. In this regard, we call for an immediate comprehensive moratorium on attacks on civilian infrastructure, including oil and gas installations.
We express our readiness to contribute to appropriate efforts to ensure safe passage through the Strait. We welcome the commitment of nations who are engaging in preparatory planning.
We welcome the International Energy Agency decision to authorise a coordinated release of strategic petroleum reserves. We will take other steps to stabilise energy markets, including working with certain producing nations to increase output.
We will also work to provide support for the most affected nations, including through the United Nations and the IFIs (International Financial Institutions).
Maritime security and freedom of navigation benefit all countries. We call on all states to respect international law and uphold the fundamental principles of international prosperity and security.

Lame and spineless, imo.
Wheres their letter to Israel and their north american colony…?
Holy shit maybe the Mormons are right
How so? I mean obviously the mormons are very wrong. Very very wrong. But I don’t get the joke excuse my slowness.
That north America was colonized by Israel(ites)
Do the mormons think that? Ha ha, they are really fucked in the head. Don’t tell them I said that.
Yeah they think Jesus came to America and native Americans are Israelites. The book of Mormon is wild
I kind of like that they think Quetzacotl was a reincarnation of jesus, like obviously that’s not the case, but quetzacotl is a really cool legend. The fethered serpent, he and his pals showed up after the great flood in south america, he wielded lightning as I heard it, and forbade human sacrifice and they built all sorts of shit, as I heard it. Way after he was gone, there was a sort of civil war and the human sacrifice dickheads won out.
Now that might not be the most reliable information, it is from fingerprints of the gods, graham hancock, people hate him with a passion, idk the legends he collated, I would like to see the source material. The book also talked about legends of dwarves moving huge rocks with flutes, where the old world had similar legends. Which I found intriguing because Tesla’s ideas about everything having a frequency it can vibrate at.
Lost amount the other stern warning letters.
And Cuba, right? RIGHT!?
This is such a bullshit statement. Blaming only Iran? Really?
Written by Israel and the pedofilic politicians under blackmail
Fuck off Europe and Japan. Fuck your oil supplies. Iran has a right to defend itself, and this is their only card to play. Eat a dick.
So the Europe and Japan are just US lite? The fucking cowards have the best opportunity to shit on Trump’s actions but didn’t even mention him. They could have condemned those actions then also appealed to Iran, but instead sided with fascism. Fuck this world.
I try to think rationally, but sometimes it really feels like the global elite are the real authority and the rest is just pomp and circumstance.
Well, they’re not wrong, but that’s a statement that should have been made AFTER one directed to Israel and the US, to stop making the entire area unsafe by waging an unprovoked war.
Why haven’t Russia and China started such a resolution already? Why hasn’t everyone else signed on?
And where’s Canada in all this?
It seems that the globe is willing to lie down and get fucked by the US… I’m surprised by the complacency.
I suspect that, for natural gas and Europe, the problem here is gonna be similar to the issue when Russia cut natural gas off. You might be able to ramp up extraction in Africa or the US or South America or whatever. But you’re going to have a hard time getting more liquefication capacity near extraction online rapidly, to convert it to a form that can be viably moved to major natural gas importers. That’s something like a 4-5 year time window to build out more capacity, from past reading.
en.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_countries_by_natural_g…
Looking at that, the major natural gas producers in Europe, outside Russia, are Norway (#8 globally) and the UK (#22 globally). Those guys are directly on the European pipeline network. If they can ramp up their production and have pipeline capacity, they can get it to the rest of Europe.
But outside of that, there’s only so much liquification capacity.
US gasoline and diesel prices promptly rose after the conflict kicked off, because the market for those is global. Anyone in the world can buy oil and transport it without much trouble, so prices tend to be correlated around the world. But the natural gas market requires scarce, specialized liquification and regasification facilities for long distance transport and as a result is fragmented, decoupled. Henry Hub (US natural gas) prices aren’t up. The major European natural gas index (TTF) is well up. The two diverging will mean that there isn’t a way to move adequate natural gas between the two. That’ll cause European consumers to be disproportionately hit by natural gas price increases.
Ridiculous statement to make.
Not one mention of condemning the states for attacking? Weak and pathetic.
What happened to everyone yelling “Israel has a right to defend itself” in response to Oct 7 attacks?
Why is there no one yelling “Iran has a right to defend itself?”
Oh, hypocrites? Yeah that tracks.
