Countries must reject Iran efforts to control Hormuz, UN agency document says
The U.N. shipping agency's governing council urged countries to reject Iran's attempts to assert sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz and its unilateral decision to create a body to control traffic through the waterway. The U.S. and Iran exchanged hostilities this week, including U.S. airstrikes in response to attacks on ships attributed to Tehran.
