The US military has covertly created a new shipping lane for vessels entering and exiting the Strait of Hormuz, a critical passage through which millions of barrels of oil are transported daily. This operation, ongoing for several weeks, involves 15 to 20 tankers navigating a southern route along the coast of Oman each night. According to two senior US officials, about 10 million barrels of oil per day, roughly half the pre-war volume, are now being moved through this alternative path, ensuring continued flow to the global energy market despite ongoing regional conflicts.
The development comes amid heightened tensions and economic warfare against Iran. Former President Donald Trump, speaking on the social media platform TRUTH, declared the toughest economic campaign ever imposed on any country, targeting Iran’s military capabilities, economy, and currency. He warned that any nation aiding Iran financially or logistically would face severe economic consequences.
Meanwhile, reports from Lebanon indicated that the Israeli Air Force conducted strikes near the Ali Taher mountain range overnight, reflecting ongoing regional security dynamics. The US initiative to secure oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz represents a significant strategic effort to maintain energy supply routes amid instability in the Middle East.
