Southern Oman route faces severe risks
The alarming figures show that maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has sharply declined, with passing rates not exceeding 17% of pre-conflict levels last week. Only 151 ships crossed during the past seven days, and since the start of the US-Iran war in February, 56 ships have been damaged, including attacks targeting Emirati vessels. The southern Omani route, an alternative corridor, has experienced 16 incidents out of a total of 18 since July, amid continued US sanctions on the Iranian port. Tensions are escalating, with Trump threatening to turn the strait into a "U.S. territory," while Tehran responded that the strait "cannot be seized with a tweet or a warplane." Meanwhile, the economic and military paralysis in the region persists.
