A few days ago, the UN announced a plan to evacuate the ships, and some 11,000 crew, who have been stranded in the Gulf since Trump started his made-up war.
UN agency pauses evacuation of ships through the Strait of Hormuz
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A United Nations agency paused the evacuation of ships through the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday after the British military said a vessel was hit by a projectile off the coast of Oman following the passage of several tankers that used a route backed by the U.N.
The head of the International Maritime Organization said the plan to move stranded ships out of the Persian Gulf through the strait will be on hold until the agency can confirm safety guarantees for the ships on the evacuation list and in the region.

Oil tankers, led by the Stoic Warrior vessel, sailed along the United Arab Emirates and then Oman early Thursday, passing by Oman's Musandam Peninsula fairly close to the shore. The route was laid out by Oman and the International Maritime Organization, a U.N. agency.
The naval arm of the Revolutionary Guard issued a warning Thursday against using the route, carried by Iran's state-run IRNA news agency.
It said the new route was established without notice or coordination with Iran, calling it "unacceptable and completely dangerous."
"Violators will be dealt with," it added, without elaborating.https://currently.att.yahoo.com/news/world/article....Guess who lied again?..

The US keeps bleating about what it claims is, and is not, in the MOU. You know my position: the MOU is a sham, designed for Trump to get what he wants from Iran, so he gets what he wants from USian Proles in November, then he'll stab everyone in the back. Typical "JC" playbook.
