Six Months of War: 20 Dead in 68 Incidents Near Hormuz, IMO Says
The UN maritime agency said the incidents averaged one every 2.6 days, with 20 seafarers or port workers killed and 35 wounded.
- The International Maritime Organization confirmed 68 incidents in the Gulf during the six-month war between Iran and Israel, with commercial vessels targeted in the vital Strait every 2.6 days on average.
- Classifying 47 of the incidents as attacks, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations documented commercial shipping targets; about half involved tankers, 20 per cent container ships and 15 per cent bulk carriers.
- Across all incidents, at least 20 seafarers or port workers were reported killed and 35 wounded, with incidents recorded throughout the Gulf off the coasts of Iraq, Iran, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates.
- Four of the five incidents during one period clustered off the Omani coast along a route not authorised by Iranian authorities, prompting Iran to warn vessels against taking the alternative route to retain control of the Strait.
- Since peace talks collapsed, the incident rate has climbed back to pre-talks levels, with an incident recorded on average every 2.8 days compared to every 2.3 days from the war's outbreak until mid-June.
