Two Commercial Vessels Struck Near Hormuz, One on Fire off Oman Coast
🔥 HORMUZ — Two ships burning near the bypass route built to avoid exactly this. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: The Khasab corridor through Omani waters was established precisely as the safer alternative to Iranian lanes — strikes here collapse the bypass logic entirely. Unknown attribution keeps escalation pressure diffuse, but operators now have no low-risk transit option. War risk premiums spike across every Hormuz-adjacent route simultaneously. The chokepoint just got tighter.
