Overview

Since the outbreak of the US-Israel war on Iran on February 28, Tehran effectively closed the vital Strait of Hormuz, leaving more than 11,000 sailors stranded aboard thousands of ships in the Persian Gulf. In response, the United Nations maritime agency initiated an evacuation operation to safely remove these seafarers. The International Maritime Organization has advised all ships to stay put and await instructions during this ongoing evacuation effort.
