London, United Kingdom: Almost 6,000 seafarers "remain stranded" in the Gulf, the head of the International Maritime Organization said Wednesday as he called for "maximum restraint and de-escalation".
"I condemn the attacks over the past two days against several ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz," IMO secretary general Arsenio Dominguez said in a statement after US President Trump said the ceasefire with Iran was over. "These reckless attacks have again placed innocent seafarers in grave danger," Dominguez added.
