Iran's closure of Strait and new map could hit stranded sailors harder

DAMMAM, Saudi Arabia: Iran has released a new map claiming control over the Strait of Hormuz, which could make things even harder for thousands of sailors stuck on ships in the Middle East. More than 20,000 sailors are trapped on about 2,000 ships. Many cannot leave their vessels, have limited food and fresh water, and are worried about their safety in a war zone.
