Some ships refusing US-military guided Hormuz transits after attacks, sources say

Shipping firms are avoiding a U.S. military transit route through the Strait of Hormuz. This avoidance stems from recent Iranian attacks on vessels and growing safety worries. The U.S. military has been guiding ships through the strait after attacks. However, shippers find the Omani route increasingly dangerous after several ship incidents. The Strait of Hormuz remains open, but security risks are elevated.
