Folha de S.Paulo leads with humanitarian framing: "UN says 115 ships and 2,500 sailors have been removed from Hormuz." The outlet reports the IMO's evacuation numbers, centering seafarer welfare as the crisis metric. Yahoo Japan leads with passage fee disputes—"US and Gulf states refuse strait passage fees"—emphasizing the economic sovereignty and fee negotiation dimension absent from other outlets' framing.
The Hindu emphasizes institutional restart efforts: "UN agency working to restart Hormuz evacuations after ship attack." This outlet centers the IMO Secretary-General's operational coordination.

These outlets diverge on which aspect of the Hormuz crisis is primary: humanitarian (Folha), economic-sovereignty (Yahoo Japan), or institutional-coordination (The Hindu). All report the same 115 vessels and 2,500 seafarers, but frame the crisis through different analytical lenses.
