‘Political will’ can prevent Strait of Hormuz crisis, UNOPS chief says

The Strait of Hormuz has become a major sticking point in the conflict between the US and Iran.
The closure of the strategic waterway has had major knock-on effects to the global economy.

Jorge Moreira Da Silva is the Executive Director of the UN Office for Project Services (UNOPS), that's a UN body that focuses on implementing humanitarian aid through infrastructure and project management. He's also been recently appointed as the head of a UN task force to mitigate the impact of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz on humanitarian needs.
He explains why political will is crucial to ease the Strait of Hormuz crisis.
