Bangkok: 'Sihasak' confirmed that three crew members of the Mayuree Naree have died. The ship owner and the Ministry of Labour are handling compensation matters. He is preparing to fly to Oman to thank them and request assistance in allowing the stranded ship to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, hoping Israel will respect the rules towards a peaceful path.

According to Thai News Agency, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sihasak Phuangketkaew, gave an interview regarding the deaths of the three crew members of the Mayuree Naree, who were killed by an explosion in the Strait of Hormuz. He stated that, according to the ship's owner, only body parts were found, concluding that they were no longer alive. However, he added that the ship's owner must make a formal statement on this matter.

Mr. Sihasak said that the Thai government's assistance is a matter for the company to handle, and normally, if it's a worker, the Ministry of Labour would provide compensation.

When asked if he was traveling to Oman to thank the Omani government, Mr. Sihasak said that was partly to thank them, and that he also wanted the Omani government to help with the issue of our ship being stranded in the Strait of Hormuz, as they have contact with Iran, and the Thai government is making efforts to do so.

Regarding the possibility of an Israeli attack on Lebanon ending within two weeks, Mr. Sihasak said that there has been no change in the status of the Strait of Hormuz. He hopes that during the ceasefire, restrictions will be eased to allow ships to pass through the strait. However, he noted that there is currently an agreement between the United States and Iran, and he urged Israel to respect and abide by it. He emphasized that this is a period where peace must be given a chance, which is crucial.

When asked whether the upcoming negotiations in Pakistan, which aim for lasting peace, were likely to reach a resolution, Mr. Sihasak said that it depends on the efforts and will of all parties. He added that the whole world wants peace because much damage has already been done, and we must look ahead and find a way to peace.

"Would this also ease Thailand's oil situation?" Mr. Sihasak said, "If we look at it as a ceasefire, then of course we want to know what that ceasefire will lead to."
