Iran: Foreign crew members rescued after vessel collision

Iran has rescued 23 foreign crew members after a bulk carrier collided with another vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, the semi-official Iranian news agency Fars reported.

The incident occurred north of Iran's Qeshm Island.

The bulk carrier sustained significant hull damage and began taking on water, prompting the captain to order an emergency evacuation.

All crew members were safely transported to Qeshm Island.

Iran has officially filed a complaint with the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), accusing the United States of systematically violating the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, which was signed last month.

In a letter addressed to UN Secretary-General António Guterres and UN Security Council President Zenon Ngay Mukongo, Iran's Permanent Representative to the UN, Amir Saeid Iravani, stated that, according to Tehran, the United States began undermining the agreement's provisions almost immediately after it was signed, Iran's Press TV reported.

Iran and the United States signed the Memorandum of Understanding on June 17, providing for a permanent ceasefire on all fronts and the continuation of negotiations toward a final agreement within 60 days. According to Iran's interpretation, the document assigns Tehran responsibility for managing and ensuring the security of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.

In the complaint, Iravani listed 42 alleged violations of the agreement since its signing, including U.S. military strikes on Iranian territory, restrictions on the sale of Iranian oil, the establishment of an alternative maritime route through the Strait of Hormuz, and support for Israel in the conflict in Lebanon. The Iranian ambassador specifically highlighted Article 5 of the memorandum, which he claims affirms Tehran's authority over determining safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
