BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 27. The US military says it redirected 109 commercial vessels operating in the Arabian Sea as part of measures intended to enforce restrictions on maritime traffic linked to Iranian ports through the Strait of Hormuz.
TurkicWorld reports that the restrictions involving the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman began on April 13 and have affected maritime activity in one of the world's most strategically significant shipping corridors.
US forces also reportedly continue maritime surveillance operations in the region, with Sea Hawk helicopters conducting patrol missions over the Arabian Sea.
The developments come amid broader concerns regarding the effect of disruptions in maritime traffic on global energy markets and international trade flows.
The Strait of Hormuz serves as a major route for global oil exports, and any interruption to shipping activity can have implications for international energy prices and economic stability.
Reports have also suggested that a potential peace framework under discussion could include restoring commercial maritime traffic to pre-conflict levels within 30 days, alongside measures involving the lifting of maritime restrictions and changes to military deployments.
The claims and details surrounding the reported framework have not been independently verified.
