UN pauses Hormuz sailor evacuations after "attack" in strait

The UN's International Maritime Organization paused plans to evacuate over 11,000 sailors stranded in the Strait of Hormuz. This decision follows objections from Iran and a reported attack on a vessel in the Gulf of Oman. IMO Secretary General Arsenio Dominguez confirmed the incident occurred Thursday. The pause underscores the fragility of shipping lanes and the potential for disruption to the flow of people and goods, despite the existing U.S.-Iran truce in the region.
