Iran says it will ‘facilitate and expedite’ humanitarian aid through the Strait of Hormuz

DUBAI: Tehran has agreed to “facilitate and expedite” humanitarian aid through the Strait of Hormuz, the Iranian ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva said Friday, even as it endures strikes on its nuclear facilities. Ali Bahreini said Tehran has accepted a request from the UN to let humanitarian aid and agricultural shipments move through the vital waterway, which usually handles a fifth of the world’s oil shipments and nearly a third of the world’s fertilizer trade. The aid plan would be the first breakthrough at the shipping chokepoint after a month of war.
