A drone attack by Iran in the Strait of Hormuz has escalated tensions and put the lives of 11,000 seafarers at risk. The attack targeted a Singapore-flagged cargo vessel, 'Ever Lovely,' off the coast of Oman while a UN rescue mission was underway. Following the incident, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has temporarily suspended rescue operations due to safety concerns. Over 20,000 sailors are reportedly stranded in the region, with 11,000 specifically targeted for evacuation. Iran had previously warned against using routes without its permission. While no casualties were reported, the suspension of rescue efforts leaves thousands of sailors stranded in a high-risk zone. https://argusnews.in/international/11000-seafarers-stranded-strait-of-hormuz-iran-drone-attacks-un-rescue-halted #creator program
