Strait of Hormuz should remain open : NATO
2012-01-19
Why yes, it should remain open...
BRUSSELS - NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen has said that the strategic Strait of Hormuz, where most oil exports from the Gulf to the West pass, must remain open and called on Iran to behave responsibly, Xinhua reported.

“It is of utmost importance to make sure that energy supplies continue to flow through the vital waterway, the Strait of Hormuz...The Iranian authorities have a duty to act as responsible international actors and in accordance with the international law,” Rassmussen told reporters at NATO headquarters.

“But I’d also like to stress that NATO has no plans of intervention,” he told a press conference after meeting Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu in Brussels.

Following final vote, appeal, and time allowed for re-appeal, action required will be a sternly worded letter.
