US EditionTensions Erupt at Sea: Iran and Israel Clash Over Maritime Security
- On Wednesday, at the International Maritime Organization, Iran and Israel each raised concerns over threats to maritime security in key shipping routes near the Gulf and the Red Sea amid escalating military tensions.
- The allegations arise from Israel's recent bombardments targeting Iran's energy facilities along its Gulf coastline near Asalouyeh, coupled with Iran's backing of Yemen's Houthi rebels, which has interfered with maritime navigation in the region.
- Maritime agencies have advised commercial vessels to steer clear of Iranian territorial waters near the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route that handles around 20 million barrels of oil and over 10 billion cubic feet of liquefied natural gas daily in 2024.
- Iran stated that these actions pose a serious threat to global maritime safety and the stability of the worldwide energy supply network, while Israel accused Iran of attempting to turn key international shipping routes into tools of maritime terrorism.
- The escalation risks widespread maritime conflict and global economic disruption if urgent international action fails to halt the unlawful aggression in the strategically crucial region.
