U.S. Forces Create Maritime Route Near Hormuz
The U.S. Navy has established a secret maritime corridor south of the Strait of Hormuz to ensure the continued flow of about 10 million barrels of oil daily to global markets, which is equivalent to half of the oil that used to pass through the strait before recent military tensions. Between 15 and 20 tankers travel through the corridor daily, sailing along the Omani coast away from the usual routes near Iranian waters, aiming to secure energy supplies and reduce the risk of navigation disruptions amid escalating tensions in the region. Washington affirms its control over the passage for the past two months, warning that while the Iranian Revolutionary Guard might cause some disturbances, it does not control the strait.
