The International Chamber of Shipping has strongly criticized both the United States and Iran for capturing each other’s commercial ships. The group says these actions break international law and are dangerous for sailors. John Stawpert, a senior official in the organization, said that seafarers should be able to do their jobs freely and safely. He explained that these workers are only transporting goods and are not involved in political conflicts. He warned that using ships and crews to make political points is wrong. According to him, innocent sailors are being put at risk of detention even though they have done nothing wrong. The organization is now calling for the immediate release of all captured ships and their crews. It also urged both countries to avoid such actions in the future and to respect international shipping laws.
