In a formal request to the International Maritime Organization (IMO), Iran's representative has urged the organization to strongly condemn the targeted killing of an Iranian maritime official and his family in a recent Israeli military strike. The incident, which has drawn widespread condemnation from Iranian authorities, occurred when the Israeli forces carried out an airstrike, resulting in the tragic loss of lives. The Iranian envoy emphasized the grave violation of international laws and norms, stressing that such acts of aggression against civilians are unacceptable and must be condemned in the strongest terms. The request calls upon the IMO to take a firm stance against this blatant disregard for human life and the principles of maritime safety and security. Iranian officials have provided details of the incident, accusing Israel of being behind the attack and vowing to hold those responsible accountable. The targeted killing has further escalated tensions between the two nations and raised concerns over the potential for further escalation in the region. The IMO, as the United Nations' specialized agency responsible for regulating international shipping, plays a crucial role in promoting maritime safety and security. Iran's request highlights the need for the organization to address such incidents and uphold the principles of international law and human rights in the maritime domain.
