According to Al Jazeera, UN Assistant Secretary-General Khaled Khiari told the Security Council on Friday, citing International Maritime Organization data, that a total of 134 maritime incidents had been confirmed in the Strait of Hormuz and the broader Middle East region from the start of the US-Israel war against Iran in February through November 11, resulting in a cumulative total of 25 seafarer deaths. He stated that the number of incidents involving commercial shipping in October was the highest since February, and called for an end to attacks on civilian vessels and the restoration of safe navigation. This figure represents the cumulative statistics for the aforementioned period and geographic scope, rather than newly reported casualties for the day, nor did all 134 incidents occur in the Strait of Hormuz.
