Maritime Rescue Stalls After Mystery Attack in Hormuz Strait

A projectile hit a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz on June 25, forcing the International Maritime Organization to pause its evacuation of 11,000 stranded seafarers. The attacker remains unknown. Without knowing who fired, the IMO cannot secure safe passage agreements. The crew members are trapped in one of the world's most volatile shipping lanes, their contracts violated and supplies dwindling.
