Windward: IRGC boats removed 6 ships from Omani route

Windward: IRGC boats diverted 6 ships from Omani route. Artificial intelligence data from maritime company Windward shows that since yesterday, 2 ships have been diverted from the route known as the "Omani Corridor" toward the Iranian route, and 4 ships have returned to the Persian Gulf. Bloomberg reported yesterday that 8 ships intended to pass through the U.S.-backed route when they suddenly changed course, with some using the Iranian route for transit—a development confirmed by satellite imagery. Windward now says these route changes coincide with the presence of IRGC patrol boats, and the IRGC Navy issues radio warnings to ships that use routes other than Iran's safe passage route.
