At least 25 seafarers have been killed in and around the Strait of Hormuz since the US-Israeli war on Iran broke out in February, according to the United Nations. Khaled Khiari, assistant secretary-general for the Middle East, Asia and the Pacific, gave the figures , which cover the period up to November 11, during a UN Security Council briefing on Friday. “This situation cannot be allowed to become the new normal,” said Khiari, urging the “full restoration of maritime navigation in the region”.
He pointed out that security incidents in and around Hormuz have been rising, with October recording the highest tally since the start of the conflict. The UN’s International Maritime Organization (IMO) tracked 136 security incidents involving vessels in Hormuz and the wider Middle East between March 1 and November 11. It said 35 of those incidents came in October and 10 in November.
“Every day brings new reports of maritime incidents,” said Khiari. “These incidents are unacceptable,” he added.

संयुक्त राष्ट्रसंघले फेब्रुअरीमा अमेरिका-इजरायलले इरानविरुद्ध युद्ध सुरु गरेयता हर्मुज जलडमरु र आसपासका क्षेत्रमा कम्तीमा २५ जना नाविकको मृत्यु भएको जनाएको छ। संयुक्त राष्ट्रसंघ सुरक्षा परिषद्को ब्रिफिङका क्रममा सहायक महासचिव खालिद खियारीले समुद्री सुरक्षाका घटनाहरू बढिरहेको र द्वन्द्व सुरु भएयता अक्टोबरमा सबैभन्दा बढी आक्रमणका घटना रेकर्ड गरिएको बताए। अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय समुद्री संगठनले मार्च १ देखि नोभेम्बर ११ को बीचमा १३६ वटा सुरक्षा घटनाहरू ट्र्याक गरेको छ। तीनवटा तेल ट्यांकरमा आगलागी भएको रिपोर्टपछि इरानको नौसेनाले अनुमति बिना प्रतिबन्धित क्षेत्रमा प्रवेश गर्ने जहाजहरूले नौसैनिक खानीमा ठोक्किने जोखिमको सामना गर्नुपर्ने चेतावनी दिएको छ। अमेरिकी सेनाले मुख्य मार्गहरू सुरक्षित रहेको दाबी गरे पनि युके मेरिटाइम ट्रेड अपरेसनले जलडमरु हुँदै हुने ढुवानीमा करिब ६५ प्रतिशतले गिरावट आएको जनाएको छ, जसले गर्दा विश्वव्यापी अर्थतन्त्रमा गम्भीर असर परेको छ र खाद्य सुरक्षामा खतरा उत्पन्न भएको छ।
