UN agency pauses evacuation of ships through Strait of Hormuz after UK says a vessel was hit

The UN agency has halted the evacuation of ships through the Strait of Hormuz due to a recent incident where a British vessel was reportedly struck by a projectile near Oman. This pause comes after several tankers successfully navigated the route supported by the U.N. Tensions are high as this strait is a critical global shipping corridor, and any disruptions could have major economic and geopolitical implications. This move underscores the ongoing risks and instability in the region, particularly concerning international maritime security.
