The Strait of Hormuz, which controls traffic through the Persian Gulf, is a nerve center of geopolitics and global trade, as Iran, amid conflict with the US and Israel, has blocked the passage of ships carrying oil to all areas of the globe. The blockade in the Strait of Hormuz already has disastrous effects on economies, implicitly on Romania, by increasing the price of fuel and products or services.<\/p>\n

Under these circumstances, a coalition of five European states has been formed: the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, which was also joined by Japan from the Asian continent, which condemns, based on Resolution 2817 of the UN Security Council, Iran’s action of closing the Strait of Hormuz and attacks on civil infrastructure in the area.<\/p>\n

On Friday evening, the President of Romania, Nicu\u0219or Dan, announced that Romania is joining this coalition to ensure freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz: “We have decided to join the declaration of the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Japan regarding ensuring in the Strait of Hormuz the freedom of navigation, a fundamental principle of international law\u201d.<\/i><\/p>\n
