Iran kept the Strait of Hormuz closed on June 21 even as US-Iran talks began the same day in Switzerland. Tehran stated that Israel had breached the ceasefire agreement by continuing strikes on Lebanon. The closure left thousands of sailors on ships inside the strait, an active conflict zone.
Crews face drone threats and food rationing while vessels remain unable to transit. France 24 interviewed Phil Belcher, marine director at the International Association of Independent Tanker Owners, about conditions for the stranded crews. Belcher described how sailors are managing the situation inside the waterway.
The strait’s closure affects global energy routes and leaves ships and crews exposed in the middle of the conflict zone.
