As Iran and the United States maintain rival blockades on the Strait of Hormuz and surrounding waters, we look at the more than 20,000 seafarers stranded on commercial ships since the outbreak of the war and unable to move out of the region. These maritime workers are often working-class men from developing countries across the Global South who form the crews on about 1,500 oil tankers, cargo ships and other vessels currently stuck on the water. Unpaid for several weeks, they lack the visas to disembark in any of the Gulf countries near the ships.
"There is lack of food, there is lack of provisions, there is lack of water," says Mohamed Arrachedi of the International Transport Workers' Federation, joining us from Bilbao, Spain. "The seafarers are just exposed and absolutely vulnerable."
We also speak with Manoj Yadav, general secretary of Forward Seamen's Union of India, who says the mental health of the workers is rapidly deteriorating as many have also lost connection to their families.
"They are trained for serving on board merchant vessels. They are not trained for the war," Yadav says.

YouTube/screengrabCapitoAndrew Schulz, the comedian who laughed in Donald Trump's face during their 90-minute podcast sit-down last week, now says he thinks Trump is "winning by a landslide," adding, "it's not close anymore," as his podcast co-hosts cracked up at his big takeaway from meeting the Republican candidate.
"Before he came on, I was like ‘He ain't got a chance! He's coming on here? He's gotta be down bad,'" Schulz said in a newly posted recap of the interview's aftermath. Trump's appearance on Schulz's Flagrant podcast brought in 3 million YouTube views in under 48 hours.
But since the interview was uploaded online, Schulz said he's gotten a peak into just how many people still support the divisive ex-president. "It was the looks on the street," Schulz said on the podcast. "It was like, you know when someone who's trying to sell you drugs, they give you this nod," he explained, implying that supporters of Trump's were silently expressing their approval of the sit-down. "That's all I've been getting for the last week."
