UN pauses Strait of Hormuz evacuation plan after cargo ship attacked
The International Maritime Organization has halted its evacuation plan for more than 11,000 sailors in the Strait of Hormuz after a cargo ship was attacked. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps warned that vessels using routes not approved by the IMO would be unsafe, and the attacked vessel was not operating under the evacuation framework. The incident occurs amid a recent U.S.-Iran agreement aimed at de‑escalating the conflict and stabilising oil markets.
