11,000 Sailors Stuck as Rescue Pauses After Ship Attack

The International Maritime Organization halted its rescue mission on June 25 after a projectile hit a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, setting it on fire. No one has claimed responsibility for the strike. Without knowing who attacked, negotiators cannot secure safe passage to extract 11,000 crew members trapped in this volatile shipping corridor. The sailors face mounting hardship while the evacuation remains frozen.
