At the end of the letter, Baharvand called on all countries and international actors committed to the accepted principles of international law, including the International convention on maritime safetyto condemn these destabilizing practices in the region and cooperate in good faith to ensure maritime security on all international waterways, including the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman.
