The UN's International Maritime Organization (IMO) is set to evacuate more than 11,000 sailors who have been stranded in the Gulf because of the US-Israel war against Iran.
IMO secretary-general Arsenio Dominguez said the "large-scale operation" would be carried out in cooperation with Iran, Oman, the US, other coastal states in the region and the maritime industry.
"We have secured the necessary safety guarantees and have thoroughly verified the conditions for safe navigation to support these operations," he added.
An interim deal was signed last week to end the conflict, but both the US and Iran continue to clash on details of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
The US has said the MoU includes guarantees that Iran's nuclear weapons programme will come under inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
US President Donald Trump posted on social media on Tuesday: "Iran has fully and completely agreed to highest level Nuclear inspections long into the future (Infinity!!!). This will insure 'Nuclear Honesty.'"
Shortly before Trump's post, Iran said the UN watchdog would not be able to inspect nuclear sites bombed by the US and Israel last year.
In response, a US official said: "the Iranians have agreed to robust IAEA inspections of the remains of their nuclear weapons programme. The Iranian regime will say what they have to say for their domestic audience."
Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian said during a visit to Pakistan on Tuesday that Iran "will never negotiate with anyone, under any circumstances, ever, about our defensive capabilities".
Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said at a news conference with Pezeshkian that ballistic missiles were not discussed between the US and Iran and were "not on the table at all".

Trump and allies should set up a program where the strait remains open and the cost of ANY AND ALL damages inflicted upon shipping by Iran will be 100% covered by IRANIAN IMPOUNDED FUNDS. This would stiffen the spines of the shipping insurers and reinsurers,
And, as FReeper BeauBo suggested elsewhere, maybe also allow that the assets of at fault Iranian officials could also be seized and said officials held personally liable.
President Trump, VP Vance and Secretary Rubio, DO IT.
When all else fails, call the un!
> UN says it will evacuate sailors stranded in Strait of Hormuz <
Wait. The UN has a navy?
Who knew?
🚣
Here comes the UN after the US has squared away the deal.
“UN says it will evacuate sailors stranded in Strait of Hormuz, as Rubio warns against tolls”
If Rubio REALLY cared about tolls, he would end them on I-95, so it doesn’t cost $200 or so to drive from Boston to Miami...especially when the money isn’t even being used for roads (the gas taxes cover that).
The UN can’t even save itself from their global warming scam
