Strait of Hormuz Traffic Increases Amid Iran-Oman Talks
Maritime traffic has notably increased through the Strait of Hormuz following a period of heightened tensions and recent attacks. Iran and Oman have engaged in discussions regarding the strait's management and future framework for ship transit. This development comes as India-bound ships have reportedly gone "dark" by disabling tracking systems while crossing the strait, a tactic described as a "ninja technique" to evade monitoring amidst US-Iran maritime tensions. The situation highlights the vulnerability of global supply chains at critical maritime chokepoints.
