Pakistan PM at UN urges keeping Hormuz, Bab al-Mandab open amid US-Iran tensions

Pakistan's PM Shehbaz Sharif, acting as a US-Iran mediator, told the UN General Assembly that the Strait of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab must remain open, amid heightened military tensions. The statement signals diplomatic pressure to de-escalate, but its impact on actual shipping security is uncertain. This matters because any closure of these chokepoints would disrupt global oil and trade flows.

President Trump publicly rejected this offer, citing Iran's 'losses' and indicating a preference for resuming military strikes after the November elections. This rejection signals continued diplomatic deadlock and a hardening of the US posture.
