Quick Summary

Danny Danon, Israel's UN envoy, criticized European countries for not contributing more to help the US secure the Strait of Hormuz from Iranian control. Traffic through the critical trade route has dropped significantly since the conflict began on February 28, with only 19 crossings in the past day compared to an average of around 130 per day previously. Danon noted that while countries came together to fight piracy off Somalia in the past, a similar coalition effort is lacking now despite Iran's attacks on merchant ships, which have killed at least 22 crew members this year according to the International Maritime Organization.

Story summary

Israel's UN envoy Danny Danon expressed disappointment in European nations for not supporting the US in securing the Strait of Hormuz, a critical trade route. In April, a coalition of 40 countries, including the UK and France, met to discuss reopening the strait but have not actively participated in escorting vessels through it. The International Maritime Organization reported that Iran has conducted at least 80 attacks on merchant ships in the strait this year. Danon noted previous successful international cooperation, such as efforts against piracy off Somalia, and called for more involvement from European countries to support the US. Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has significantly declined, with only 19 crossings in the past 24 hours compared to an average of around 130 per day before the current tensions.
