UN Evacuation Corridor Through Hormuz Collapses After Projectile Strike

A projectile hit a cargo ship on Thursday using a UN-backed evacuation route through the Strait of Hormuz, forcing the International Maritime Organization to suspend operations. The corridor had enabled dozens of stranded vessels to exit a chokepoint handling 20 percent of global oil trade. Dozens of ships and crews remain trapped. Whether the strike was deliberate or incidental will determine if negotiations can revive the operation or if security has deteriorated beyond repair.
