Provocations by units of the United States Navy against ports exporting Iraqi oil and against ships carrying Iraqi civilian cargoes in the Gulf are acts of aggression that endanger the movement of civilian shipping, including the oil trade and impair the security of Iraqi oil exports.
Les provocations auxquelles la marine de guerre américaine se livre contre les ports iraquiens exportateurs de pétrole et les navires transportant des cargaisons civiles iraquiennes dans le Golfe, constituent des actes d'agression qui mettent en péril la navigation civile, notamment le commerce de pétrole, et compromettent la sécurité des exportations de pétrole iraquiennes.
