Pakistani Foreign Minister Asif Durrani has publicly criticized the international community's response to US President Donald Trump's recent comments regarding the Strait of Hormuz.
Durrani's remarks highlight growing diplomatic friction as the critical waterway remains shut, a situation that continues to disrupt global energy supplies and shipping routes.
The Strait of Hormuz, which handles a significant portion of the world's oil trade, was declared totally closed by the Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PSGA) earlier this week.
The authority stated the waterway would remain shut until the regional situation stabilizes, a move that has already triggered volatility in energy markets and forced rerouting of tanker traffic.
Durrani's criticism comes amid a broader escalation of tensions.
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) recently rejected Trump's proposed transit tolls for the strait, adding another layer of complexity to the geopolitical standoff.
