Strait of Hormuz closed, 3000 vessels, 20,000 seafarers stranded in Middle East – IMO

The IMO disclosed that the Strait of Hormuz was closed after a tugboat assisting another vessel in the strait on Friday morning was struck killing four seafarers.

The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) says no fewer than 3,000 vessels and 20,000 seafarers are stranded in Middle East over the ongoing war by the US and Israel against Iran.

The crucial Strait of Hormuz global shipping corridor marking the entrance to the Persian Gulf, is essentially closed due to the threat of strikes from Iran and elsewhere, IMO declared.

IMO Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez, warned of the global “knock-on” effect from the closure of the sea lane responsible for 20 per cent of the world’s oil.

Mr Dominguez disclosed that the Strait of Hormuz was closed after a tugboat assisting another vessel in the strait on Friday morning was struck killing four seafarers.

The UN shipping agency chief condemned the attack and that the overall situation was “deteriorating” and urged ships to avoid navigating in the region.

He urged member states to “find solutions through dialogue in order to de-escalate” and restore free and safe movement across the region.

UN Emergency Relief Coordinator Tom Fletcher further warned that the widening conflict in the Middle East could trigger far-reaching humanitarian consequences well beyond the region.

Fletcher said disruptions to key maritime routes such as the Strait of Hormuz could drive up food prices.

The UN relief chief added that the disruption could strain health systems and make humanitarian supplies harder to deliver, hitting the most vulnerable people first.

Iran has been begging Trump to deploy US naval escorts but Trump won’t respond.

It’s glaring Iran is desperate to catch one US carrier or destroyer, because it will have enough souls onboard.

Even JC Penny can’t save the US at this point.

Russia and China should play a big role now by placating Iran.

Truly, they were poked and they've shown everyone what stuff they have.

If Iran was in the wrong, the other powerful nations in the UN would have sanctioned her and mobilised for the war.

Other routes will open soon. This propoganda seems to be the only idea left for the terrorists to seek sympathy.

War is costly but the aim must be achieved.
The Regime must never be allowed to commit more atrocities in the name of fighting for God.

God bless the Iranians.

Their ball is made of steel.

I'd prefer we all suffer this and the right message passed than make things easy for the child rapist.

Someone is just in the white house, sitting behind his computer and writing rubbish while grounding his country.

Iranians will teach him a lesson of his life.

It's only losers that care so much about the propoganda of shipping line that is not the only supply route in the world.

We are aware of collateral damage in every world. So be happy because the strait is temporary closed. 😁

It won't stop the downfall of the Islamic Terrorist Regime in Iran.

This is nothing but the last kick of a dying camel cheesy

Iran's missile is 75% depleted, very soon, they will surrender.

Many Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards are running away from Iran while some top official with known face among them are asking for amnesty from US.
