Documents Challenge Claim of Secret Hormuz Channel
The article addressed claims made on social media regarding the United States carving out a secret waterway in the Strait of Hormuz by dredging the seabed, purportedly to establish a safe route for ships behind Musandam Island and to reduce Iran’s surveillance. However, investigations utilizing navigational data and satellite images confirmed that the marine opening known as "Fak Al-Sad" or "Bab Musandam" has been a natural strait for over a century, regularly used by ships before and after the current conflict. Neither recent images nor current data provided any evidence of channel expansion or recent dredging activities, thereby refuting the claim of a newly opened passage. This underscores that the area has been well-known and used for centuries.
