Persian Gulf states and Jordan reject Iran Strait of Hormuz claim
The Kingdom of Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, and Jordan jointly on Wednesday condemned and rejected Iranian claims regarding what Tehran described as “management” or “new legal rules” for the Strait of Hormuz, according to regional statements.
The countries said Iran’s framing of governance or legal arrangements for the strategic waterway was “unacceptable” and rejected any unilateral attempts to alter the status or rules governing international navigation through the strait.
