U.N. Announces Evacuation Plan for Ships Stuck in Persian Gulf

The United Nations has unveiled a coordinated plan to move ships that have been stuck in the Persian Gulf. The effort is led by the International Maritime Organization in partnership with several nations. Officials say the plan clears the way for vessels to navigate the Strait of Hormuz safely. The strait had been effectively closed as ships remained idled for months. The new arrangement allows the evacuation of the stranded fleet. Maritime operators are preparing to resume voyages under the safety assurances. Reopening the waterway is expected to ease regional shipping congestion. The U.N. will monitor the operation to ensure compliance and prevent further disruptions.
