The International Maritime Organization (IMO) condemned attacks on merchant ships in the Strait of Hormuz, calling for immediate restraint and safe evacuation of trapped vessels. Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez stated that the attacks endanger innocent seafarers. The IMO has previously addressed the situation in the strait; as The Zioneer reported on June 26, Dominguez noted that most shipping uses the northern route under Iranian control. The condemnation follows a period of heightened maritime tensions, including Iranian strikes on commercial vessels and threats to enforce toll payments, as documented in earlier Zioneer reports.
