Saeed Bin Mubarak Al Hajeri, UAE’s state minister for foreign affairs, has condemned Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz and said any resolution to the war must address Tehran’s “full range of threats”, Al Jazeera reports.

Al Hajeri told the Indian Express newspaper that the Iranian closure of the Strait of Hormuz “is economic terrorism that must be addressed immediately by the international community”.

He added that a ceasefire in the war on Iran, “on its own, is not enough”.

“Any sustainable resolution to this war must address Iran’s full range of threats: its nuclear capabilities, its ballistic missiles and drones, its affiliated proxies, and the complete and unconditional reopening of the Strait of Hormuz,” he added.
