Ship-tracking firm says four ships changed course in Hormuz
Four vessels attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz via the route along Oman’s coast have altered course, ship-tracing firm Windward said.
In a post on X, Windward said two of the vessels reversed course and the other two diverted to a central corridor.
Iran opposes ships using the southern route through Oman’s territorial waters and has previously attacked at least two vessels travelling that corridor.
The attacks triggered retaliatory attacks on Iranian military assets by the US in and around Hormuz.
Tehran has repeatedly said it will solely be responsible for managing traffic in the Strait of Hormuz during the 60 days specified in its MoU with the US.
On Saturday, Iran’s envoy to China said new fees would be charged to ships transiting Hormuz, but “friendly nations” would receive special treatment.
