UN body to meet over Gulf shipping and maritime safety concerns UN's International Maritime Organisation (IMO) will hold an extraordinary session to address the impact of the ongoing conflict on shipping and seafarers in the Gulf, AFP news agency reported. The two-day meeting will consider possible resolutions as concerns grow over maritime safety and disruptions in key shipping routes. Several countries, including the United Kingdom, France and Germany, are urging the IMO council to condemn what they describe as attacks by Iran and threats to close the Strait of Hormuz. Iran, which is also a member of the organisation, blamed the United States and Israel for escalating maritime insecurity. “The adverse maritime repercussions currently affecting shipping and seafarers are a direct and inevitable consequence of these unlawful actions and cannot be viewed in isolation from their underlying cause,” Iran said.

The attack on Iran was meant to be a dazzling display of military supremacy. It has instead illuminated chinks in the US’s armour. The US president’s formidable arsenal cannot summon up an insurrection from Iran’s tyrannised and leaderless opposition. It cannot force merchant ships to run a gauntlet of missile and drone attacks in the strait of Hormuz. The government in Tehran and the facts of geography that give it leverage over global trade are unchanged. Trump’s exasperation is showing.
