Iran–Oman Agreement for Sharing Hormuz Oil Revenue
The Saudi Arabian oil company, Saudi Aramco, has begun shipping new crude oil quotes to customers outside the Strait of Hormuz for September deliveries, following a sale of at least 4 million barrels to China, according to Reuters online. This move aims to circumvent the risks associated with passing through the strategic waterway, which accounts for one-fifth of global energy supplies.
US Threatens Military Action Against Iran
The United States has not ruled out taking new military action against Iran, including in the Strait of Hormuz, said Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. This comes after Washington announced new and severe sanctions aimed at increasing economic isolation of Tehran within the framework of the war between the US, Israel, and Iran.
Iranian Foreign Minister Writes to UN Secretary-General
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has asked the United Nations to condemn the US “Economic Outcast” operation, which he describes as a campaign of “economic terrorism” against Iran. In a letter sent to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, President of the Security Council, and member states, Araghchi stated that the declared objective of this operation is to end legitimate economic relations with Iran by threatening secondary sanctions and exclusion from the US financial system.
Iran Warns of Consequences
Araghchi warned that the choice lies between defending “sovereign equality, non-interference, and human rights” or submitting to unilateralism and bullying by a rogue state. Tehran has also asked Guterres to assess and report on the humanitarian consequences and human rights implications of US measures, particularly regarding access to food, medicine, healthcare, energy, transportation, and humanitarian aid.
Iran Reserves Right to Take Action
The Iranian government reserves the right to take all available roads to obtain recognition of responsibilities, compensation, and reparation for damages caused by the US campaign.
