It has to do with ships moving through the Oman side of the strait. Iran is unhappy with that, because the want to control all the movement through it.
- microgpt 3mo agowhat are you talking about? Iran destroys errant ships on both sides of the strait. Otherwise the strait would've been "open" this whole time.
- thisislife2 3mo ago@timming is right. This particular incident was triggered because Oman announced a parallel route in Strait, and some ships were lead to believe that you don't need to talk / coordinate with Iran to use this new route.
