Iran carried out a strike on the alternative maritime route in the Strait of Hormuz, according to a report from reports. Tehran is reportedly furious with Oman over the opening of alternative shipping lanes bypassing IRGC coordination. The claim is single-sourced and unverified.
Reports reports that Iran has struck the alternative shipping route in the Strait of Hormuz, a development that follows days of tension over Oman's decision to permit vessels to bypass the IRGC-controlled corridor. The report describes Tehran's fury toward its Gulf neighbor. The single-source claim cannot be independently verified. The Zioneer previously reported on Iran's formal blockade of the strait and threats against any vessel attempting to cross (June 20, 22:53 Jerusalem). This reported strike would mark a kinetic escalation against Oman's move to break the blockade.
