The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has advised commercial vessels to continue avoiding the Strait of Hormuz, warning that navigation safety cannot be guaranteed amid ongoing conflict and uncertainty over whether naval mines have been cleared. IMO Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez says investigators have yet to establish whether reported attacks on ships in the strategic waterway involved mines, drones or missiles. Speaking during the IMO Council's 138th session in London, Dominguez also praised China's role in supporting efforts to de-escalate regional tensions and announced deeper maritime cooperation between the IMO and China. Meanwhile, Iranian media reports that Tehran has submitted evidence to the IMO alleging attacks by the United States and Israel on Iranian ports, civilian vessels and maritime infrastructure since late February. These allegations are expected to be reviewed by IMO member states. #StraitOfHormuz #IMO #MaritimeSecurity #ShippingCrisis #ArsenioDominguez #NavalMines #GlobalShipping #MaritimeSafety #China #Iran #MiddleEastTensions #InternationalTrade #ShippingRoutes #WorldNews #Geopolitics
