Vessels transit Strait of Hormuz with US escort despite Iranian route restrictions

Vessels are passing through the Strait of Hormuz with American escort along routes close to Oman's shores, defying Iranian demands. Iran has prohibited this route and insists all vessels coordinate passage through Iranian waters, threatening to attack ships that deviate from its designated path. The Iranian restrictions come as tensions escalate ahead of Khamenei's funeral, with Iran warning of decisive response against the United States. Iran has previously attacked vessels in the area near Oman's coastline.
