Iran's envoy to the UN Security Council accused the United States and Israel of waging a brutal war of aggression and imposing an illegal naval blockade, according to Press TV. The envoy said these actions are the root cause of maritime insecurity in the Strait of Hormuz. The report did not include any response from the US or Israel, or any details of the blockade's scope. It forms part of Iran's effort to frame the Strait closure as a consequence of the wider war.
