According to a report, shipowners and crews are rejecting a U.S. initiative to increase traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, as the toll on vessels and mariners mounts amid CENTCOM's failure to deliver on safe passage promises.
The report surfaces amid the ongoing U.S.-Iran naval confrontation in the Strait of Hormuz, where CENTCOM has been working to maintain shipping traffic despite Iranian threats and attacks. The Zioneer has previously reported on CENTCOM's statements about transit volumes and interceptions of Iranian drones targeting commercial vessels. The claim of shipowner rejection of a U.S. initiative to boost traffic indicates growing resistance among maritime operators to the risks posed by the confrontation.
