Iran faces IMO pushback over Strait of Hormuz authority —— On Friday, the governing council of the UN shipping agency agreed that countries should reject Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz and Tehran's decision to establish a body overseeing traffic through the strategic waterway. The London-based International Maritime Organization (IMO), the UN agency responsible for maritime safety, security, and pollution prevention, has 176 member states. Safeguarding key shipping routes was a major topic during this week's meeting of the IMO's 40-member governing council, where Gulf states, the US, and Iran disagreed over the future of the strait. According to the text of the non-binding decision, the IMO Council "strongly condemned" Iran's decision to "establish an entity purporting to control traffic through the strait." The council also urged member states not to recognize "Iran's claim of sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, its assertions of jurisdiction over the maritime zones of third states in and around the strait, which violated the sovereignty, sovereign rights and exclusive jurisdiction of these states," and not to acknowledge any Iranian measures intended at "closing, obstructing, hampering or otherwise interfering with international navigation and the right of transit passage."
