UN halts Strait evacuation plan
The International Maritime Organization, a UN agency, has temporarily suspended the plan to evacuate ships and sailors from the Strait of Hormuz following an attack targeting a merchant vessel 7.5 nautical miles southeast of Oman. American and Iranian sources reported that Iran opened fire on the vessel as it was passing through the strait, hitting it with a projectile on the starboard side. More than 11,000 sailors stranded due to increasing maritime traffic in the area were scheduled to be evacuated.
