Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) diverted six ships from the Strait of Hormuz's Omani corridor, with two ships heading toward Iran and four returning to the Gulf. The IRGC issued radio warnings to vessels using routes outside Iran's designated 'safe route'. Maritime intelligence firm Windward reported the incident.

A ship-tracking firm reported four vessels altered course in the Strait of Hormuz, with two reversing and two diverting to a central corridor. Iran opposes the southern route through Oman’s territorial waters, citing past attacks on vessels there, and has announced new fees for ships transiting Hormuz with exceptions for 'friendly nations.'

Iran is attacking commercial shipping through a new southern corridor near Oman, which the U.S. and Gulf allies are promoting to reduce Iranian influence over the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. responded with strikes on Iranian military targets, but both sides agreed to a ceasefire and negotiations in Doha, though Iran denies confirming talks. Iran's strategy aims to make the corridor commercially unworkable by raising insurance costs and testing U.S. resolve.

The U.S. responded with strikes on Iranian military targets, leading to a ceasefire agreement and ongoing negotiations in Doha, though Iran denies participating in talks with U.S. officials.

The U.S. and Iran launched new strikes despite claims of a holding ceasefire, as President Trump dismissed concerns about the war's impact during a Cabinet meeting. CBS News' Aaron Navarro and Windward CEO Ami Daniel provided reporting and analysis on the ongoing tensions.

Traffic at the Strait of Hormuz remains disrupted due to Iran's actions and a U.S. blockade of Iranian ports. Ami Daniel, CEO of Windward, provided analysis on CBS News regarding the situation.

President Trump announced a sweeping 'all-or-nothing' blockade of the Strait of Hormuz to cut off Iran's oil profits, citing failed negotiations. The plan involves a complete blockade with no exceptions, drawing comparisons to Venezuela's situation.
