DevelopingThe memorandum of understanding left unresolved the question of who ultimately controls navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.
DevelopingThe internationally recognised traffic separation scheme has governed navigation through the Strait of Hormuz since 1968.
DevelopingThe central shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz remain contaminated by naval mines.
DevelopingThe attack on the Ever Lovely exposed uncertainty over who can guarantee safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz and prompted suspension of the IMO evacuation operation.
DevelopingThe IMO evacuated approximately 2,500 seafarers (115 ships) from the Persian Gulf before suspending the operation, with approximately 11,000 mariners remaining stranded aboard 600 vessels.
DevelopingIMO Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez stated the attacked ship (Ever Lovely) did not transit under the IMO evacuation framework and was not contacting Oman authorities.
DevelopingSeveral vessels were successfully evacuated from the Persian Gulf under the IMO operation.
DevelopingIMO Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez suspended the evacuation operation to verify that necessary safety guarantees remain in place and said he was working to obtain guarantees before reinitiating it.
DevelopingAn attack on a ship in the Gulf of Oman prompted the IMO to halt its evacuation operation.
Developing115 ships carrying roughly 2,500 crew members left the Gulf during the first three and a half days of the IMO evacuation.
DevelopingTwo temporary corridors have been established through the Strait of Hormuz: one coordinated by Iran to the north and another supported by Oman and the United States to the south.

DevelopingThe IMO evacuation plan was announced with cooperation from Iran, Oman, the US, and other coastal states.
DevelopingHundreds of ships and thousands of sailors have been stranded in the Gulf since February.
DevelopingThe IMO release of a plan to evacuate more than 11,000 seafarers stranded in the Strait of Hormuz is directly linked to ongoing US-Iran talks.
DevelopingShips transiting through the Strait were expected to return to pre-war levels of around 130 per day, compared to recent levels in the high twenties and thirties.
DevelopingBetween 500 and 600 commercial ships will be involved in the IMO evacuation operation.

DevelopingUN Secretary-General António Guterres stated that tens of thousands of seafarers are stranded in the Strait of Hormuz while working to ensure fuel and food supply to the world.
DevelopingRising geopolitical tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, Red Sea, Black Sea and Sea of Azov are exposing crews to growing risks.
DevelopingMany crews have spent more than three months trapped aboard ships unable to leave the Gulf.
DevelopingIran has rejected efforts by France and Oman to remove mines from the strait and safeguard international trade, and rejected the IMO suggestion to open a new shipping lane off Oman's coast.
DevelopingCommercial shipping through the strait quickly began to rebound in mid-June following the ceasefire, but has slowed in recent days as Washington and Tehran have exchanged strikes.
DevelopingRe-opening the Strait of Hormuz would bring vital relief for many economies, but developing countries will continue to grapple with increased food and fuel costs.
DevelopingUNCTAD warned that freight contracts, supply chains and food systems would take longer to adjust than oil shipment recovery, with high food costs risking acute malnutrition in developing countries.
DevelopingHigher energy prices fuel higher transport costs, agricultural costs and inflation, which increases food prices long after the initial shock.
DevelopingSmall island countries like Cabo Verde and Micronesia have a 'dual exposure' to food and oil import shocks, making them especially vulnerable.
DevelopingUNCTAD estimated that 61 vulnerable economies are exposed to both oil and cereal import shocks, and that developing countries and small island states have tighter public finances with less ability to absorb shocks.
DevelopingIf countries face difficulties mobilising resources, heavy debt servicing, drop in remittances or decline in international aid, trade shocks could affect small nations even more.
DevelopingEven short periods of unaffordable food in import-dependent countries can have lasting consequences for child wasting, with a 5% real food price increase raising child wasting risk by 15% for poor children and 26% for children of rural landless poor.
DevelopingGreater international support is needed to help countries manage higher import costs, cushion food and fuel price shocks and strengthen ability to cope with future trade disruptions.
DevelopingUN Secretary-General stated these shocks will be felt for many months, with developing countries bearing the heaviest impacts.
DevelopingDeveloping governments have relied on fossil fuel subsidies, price caps and tax rebates to protect families from higher oil prices, with developing economies being forced to spend hundreds of billions shielding households from soaring energy costs.
DevelopingShort-term relief measures from fossil fuel subsidies come at a steep long-term cost, including rising to $1.1 trillion globally in 2026 and potentially $1.43 trillion if oil averages $110 a barrel.
DevelopingNearly half of the world's poorest countries are either in debt distress or at high risk of it, with median debt servicing as a share of government revenue at its highest level in 25 years.
DevelopingDiverting public funds toward fossil fuel subsidies risks slowing progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals while locking countries into more carbon-intensive energy systems.
DevelopingUNDP Administrator Alexander De Croo stated developing countries should not have to sacrifice long-term development to respond to a crisis beyond their control, and that clean energy would strengthen energy security.
DevelopingOil prices briefly fell below $72.48 per barrel on Thursday, the price before the US and Israel launched attacks on Iran.
DevelopingThe Ever Lovely had been following the UKMTO's recommended route through the strait when struck.

DevelopingHigh expectations created by Iranian state media and hardliners declaring victory could make any nuclear compromise appear as a concession to critics inside Iran.

DevelopingTrump hailed the US-Iran agreement as a 'major win' for the United States that accomplishes his war aim of preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
DevelopingThe reopening of the Strait of Hormuz was presented as an immediate 'victory' for the US because the conflict had closed it and affected global oil prices.
DevelopingPolls consistently suggested the American public was growing exasperated with high petrol prices during the conflict.
DevelopingTed Cruz accused Trump of giving too many concessions in the Iran deal, saying 'giving billions of dollars to theocratic lunatics who want to murder us is not a good idea.'
DevelopingTrump denied the $300 billion payment figure, stating 'There is no 300 billion dollar payment to Iran by the US. That's fake news.'
DevelopingTucker Carlson called the US-Iran deal 'a pretty humiliating loss for the United States.'

What caused what?
Outlets have asserted 21 cause-and-effect claims on this story. We report those as what they are — outlets' assertions — and never as findings.
Verified causes: insufficient data — and that's deliberate.
Confirming that one event actually caused another takes weeks of measurable data (incident counts, prices, casualty figures), not headlines. This story currently has no measurement series — below the threshold where statistical testing means anything. Rather than guess, we wait. When enough data accumulates, verified findings will appear here with the test methods shown.
