U.S. military opens Strait of Hormuz shipping corridor
Axios, citing two U.S. officials, says the U.S. military has quietly established a shipping corridor through the Strait of Hormuz, with 15 to 20 tankers using a southern channel along Oman.
S. S. officials told Axios. Under the operation, which has been underway for the last several weeks, 15 to 20 Tankers have entered and exited the strait through a Southern channel along the coast of Oman.
About 10M barrels of oil a day — roughly half the pre-war volume — are being transported out of the strait and injected into the global energy market, the officials said.
