Shipping companies, unions still consider Hormuz a warzone
Make us preferred on Google A vessel at the Strait of Hormuz, as seen from Musandam, Oman, June 29, 2026. — Reuters/File Unions and shipping companies stated on Wednesday that they would continue to designate the Strait of Hormuz as a warlike operations area, after two ships were attacked despite a temporary calm between Iran and the US.
"This ruling recognises the continuing and significant risk to life and the rapidly evolving condition in the area," stated a joint comment by Global Transport Labor' Federation (ITF) union and the Joint Negotiating Group (JNG), an umbrella organisation representing shipping owners.
A source familiar with the discussions informed AFP that "Had the ships not been struck on two separate days since last Thursday, and had entries and exits continued smoothly, it is likely this week could have seen a change" in the designation.
The status will now last until at least July 9 and will be reassessed weekly, the comment stated.
The Strait of Hormuz was first designated a warlike operations area on Public demonstration 5, after ships trying to cross the vital energy passageway were attacked.
