  1. IMO chief says about 400 ships still stranded in Strait of Hormuz; Qatar urges Iran to reopen the strait

    International Maritime Organization Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez said in Busan, South Korea, on Monday that about 400 ships carrying some 5,000 seafarers remain in the Strait of Hormuz, including two South Korean vessels, one of them the cargo ship HMM Namu, which was hit on May 4 during the Iran war, with 17 Korean seafarers stranded in all. He said the fundamental differences between the US and Iran must be resolved before the ships and crews can leave. A spokesperson for Qatar's foreign ministry, a mediator, said on Tuesday that Iran should stop threatening Gulf Arab states and open the strait to show good intentions. Iranian President Pezeshkian and Qatar's Emir Tamim met in Moscow on Tuesday on the sidelines of the Gas Exporting Countries Forum.
