Summary
Thousands of seafarers stranded in the area could now be evacuated after the reported U.S.-Iran agreement, which IMO chief Arsenio Dominguez said was an important step toward restoring maritime safety.
Dominguez said the deal could also help safeguard freedom of navigation in the vital corridor for ships and crews operating there.
The International Maritime Organization still expects the evacuation plan to take time, saying all necessary safety and security guarantees must be in place first.
