BREAKING: NETANYAHU REQUESTS FACE TO FACE MEETING WITH TRUMP SOON - w/ Fmr. CIA Larry Johnson
"Iran has completely closed the US-Omani designated maritime corridor that was used to bypass Iran's authority over the Strait of Hormuz. The constant US Air Force aerial presence did not stop Iran."
Maritime tracking data shows Iran forcibly closed the alternative shipping route through Omani waters on July 4th, forcing vessels to turn back or transit through Iranian-controlled waters instead. Multiple vessels attempting the southern Omani route reversed course or switched to Iranian lanes. This contradicts Trump administration claims about restored oil flows and demonstrates Iran's continued control over the strategic chokepoint.
