US Uses Ship-to-Ship Transfers, Iran-Style Tactics to Escort Tankers Through Hormuz

🚢 HORMUZ — The US is copying Iran's evasion tactics to move oil through Hormuz. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Reuters reports US-led escorts use ship-to-ship transfers at Oman/UAE waypoints — the same dark-fleet mechanics Washington sanctioned Iran for. The PGSA zone legitimized those coordinates; the US now operates within them. Hormuz isn't open — it's being covertly navigated. Tehran can cite this as US bad faith once the MOU text goes public.
