The Joint Maritime Information Center (JMIC) has issued a new advisory stating that the U.S. established southern transit corridor through Omani waters remains open and available to all commercial traffic, despite Iran's declaration yesterday that the Strait of Hormuz is closed. The advisory reinforces that the southern route remains available for use even as regional tensions persist, following recent attacks on commercial shipping and subsequent U.S. strikes against Iranian military targets.
