🚨Crews at risk in the Gulf🚨 Ships stuck in Persion Gulf running out out water, food-but NOT allowed to dock....

Not surprised to see this--as Trumps Iran War is going onto 3 weeks plus now!



🚨Crews at risk in the Gulf🚨

Just heard from a crewmember on one of the 3,200 ships stuck in the Persian Gulf.

A ship called the local port authority requested permission to dock as they had run out of water.

They were denied permission!

Multiple ships are in the same condition, with stores, food and fuel running low.

Ports are overwhelmed and security is such that they are refusing permission for ships to dock.

Crews cannot get off and reliefs cannot fly in.

What is being done to address this matter @POTUS
@SecWar
@SecDuffy
@DOTMARAD
@IMOSecGen
@IMOHQ

Did they fire everyone who knew how to manage the nuts and bolts of warfare?
