Breaking News: For the first time, tankers have begun leaving the Strait of Hormuz via a new and secret route that the commandos used years ago. Three massive vessels, each carrying about one million barrels, managed to pass during the last 24 hours through a new route running extremely close to the coast of Oman via the Strait of Hormuz. This is a complicated coastal navigation route that hugs Oman’s shoreline. In the past, it reportedly allowed Israeli naval commandos and missile boats to pass through the Strait of Hormuz under cover of night using coastal navigation. The narrow passage is reminiscent of the Corinth Canal in terms of the precision required for navigation. Information about this secret passage route near Oman’s coast has been passed on to the official bodies working to restore shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. This is a maritime route that has never been used until now because of how difficult it is to navigate. There is little doubt that, over the course of several months, it could be prepared for broader use and serve as a western alternative to the central route through the Strait of Hormuz. Against the backdrop of severe disruptions in the strait, the first signs of a bypass route are beginning to emerge. Three giant tankers, two carrying oil and one carrying liquefied natural gas, managed to leave the Persian Gulf via a southern route close to Oman’s coastline. They avoided the usual northern route, which lies closer to Iran. This is important news, especially when taking into account that countries whose oil exports have been blocked, including Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Qatar, and others, are finding solutions, even if only partial ones, to move oil to other destinations. Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly 20 million barrels of oil usually pass each day, has dropped sharply since the escalation, and the market is trying to find ways to keep oil flowing. Using the Strait of Hormuz through a route adjacent to Oman is possible, but risky. אולי not as dangerous as the regular route, but still risky. Iranian drones and missiles could also strike near Oman. However, the route can be defended. An Iran-bypassing route The three ships, identified as having ties to Oman, chose a more southern route running very close to Oman’s coastline. In doing so, they avoided the area where Iran exercises greater control and demands permits and payments, or alternatively blocks passage by military means. The northern route, still used by most vessels, involves Iranian payment demands that can sometimes reach as high as $2 million per crossing. The southern route is closer to Oman’s shore, shallower, and requires much more precise navigation. It is not suitable for every kind of ship and does not guarantee smooth passage for larger vessels. It is also important to remember that Iran and Oman are planning a joint maritime “protocol” for passage, which in practical terms means turning the strait into a toll route: want to pass, pay. But Oman is in a problematic position. It cannot openly enforce such collections because it would be seen as collaborating with Iran, and the backlash would be directed at Oman. That is how this alternative route was born. Using the Strait of Hormuz through a route adjacent to Oman is possible, but risky. Perhaps not as dangerous as the regular route, but still risky. Iranian drones and missiles could also strike near Oman. However, the route can be defended.

@visegrad24 This isn’t teenagers being kids,” it’s pure lawlessness. When you humiliate and attack a police officer in public, you’re not just breaking rules, you’re attacking the very foundation of a free society.

@ianmiles If a child was targeted, the only sane reaction is full support for arrest, prosecution, and the harshest punishment the law allows.

An Iraqi man attempted to sexually abuse a young British boy, thankfully he was caught by British patriots. Again, foreign men out to harm children in Britain.

@RadioGenoa Italy’s sovereignty is not up for debate. Like any country, it has the right to control its borders, vet asylum claims, and enforce its laws.

Italian soldiers explain to fake Islamic asylum seekers that Italians are in charge in Italy.

@RadioGenoa Stabbing a father in front of his child is pure brutality and deserves maximum punishment.

In Florence, a man who was with his 10 year old son was stabbed by several North Africans. Our patience with these barbarities has truly run out. We want mass deportations, not tomorrow, today!
