Hormuz evacuation effort on hold after new ship attack
The International Maritime Organization paused an evacuation effort for ships in the Persian Gulf after a vessel was attacked near the Strait of Hormuz, threatening a recent ceasefire between Iran and the U.S. The attack, attributed to Iran, caused damage to a ship's bridge without casualties and disrupted increased shipping activity following the agreement. The IMO cited the need to reconfirm safety guarantees for ships in the region.
