India, June 26 -- The UN's International Maritime Organization has decided to temporarily pause its evacuation operation in the Strait of Hormuz following an attack on a vessel in the Gulf of Oman, pending further clarity.
"Following the launch of the IMO's evacuation plan, through which several vessels have already been successfully evacuated, I have decided to temporarily pause its implementation in order to reconfirm that the necessary safety guarantees continue to be in place for the ships on our evacuation list and all those in the region," IMO Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez said.
