The head of the UN maritime agency responded to United States (US) President Donald Trump’s threat regarding the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. The UN says no country has the legal right to block shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, a trade route paralyzed by the US-Iran war.
This was conveyed by the Secretary General of the International Maritime Organization, Arsenio Dominguez, in a press conference when access to the Strait of Hormuz remained blocked six weeks after war erupted with US and Israeli attacks on Iran.
“In accordance with international law, no country has the right to prohibit the right of innocent passage or freedom of navigation through international straits used for international transit,” said Dominguez, reported by AFP, Monday (13/4/2026).
It is known that the US has threatened to begin a blockade on Monday of Iranian ports in and around the Strait of Hormuz, access to which has been controlled by Iranian forces since the war broke out on February 28.
Iranian authorities have allowed a small number of verified vessels to pass through the strait via routes close to their coast and in some cases have reportedly charged fees to allow the vessels to pass.
“The principle of imposing duties in international straits for international navigation is contrary to international maritime law and customary law,” said Dominguez.
“This would create a very dangerous precedent,” he added.
Meanwhile, the US promise to blockade Iranian ports will not make things easier. He considers de-escalation to be the thing that will begin to help to overcome the crisis and return shipping to the way we previously operated.
However, Dominguez estimates that the additional impact of the US blockade on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz will be very small.
“With very few vessels successfully passing through the strait, an additional blockade would not worsen the situation to any appreciable degree,” he added.

A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
