Strait of Hormuz: UN evacuates 2,500 seafarers before attack freezes rescue operation

The UN maritime agency successfully evacuated approximately 2,500 stranded seafarers from the Persian Gulf before suspending operations due to safety uncertainties in the Strait of Hormuz. This follows an attack on a commercial cargo ship. Consequently, CENTCOM officials stated that the United States launched strikes on Iran on Friday. These military actions serve as a powerful response to the attack carried out on Thursday against the cargo ship attempting to exit the Strait of Hormuz.
