Sailors Stranded in Persian Gulf Amid US-Iran War: A Nightmare Scenario The Persian Gulf has become a war zone, with sailors trapped and living in fear amid the US-Iran conflict. Irans blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has stranded around 2,000 ships, leaving 20,000 seafarers stuck at sea for over five weeks. Attacks on vessels have resulted in ten deaths and supply shortages, with food and water running low. Crews are pleading for rescue, but owners cant reroute or fly them out. Iran and Oman have introduced new rules for transit, and the first non-Iranian supertankers passed through on April 2nd. President Trump has stated the war will end in two to three weeks, but US escorts or help to reopen the lane are unlikely. Sailors just want to sail home safely to their families.
