Two Supertankers Cross Hormuz on US-Protected Route as Iran Attacks Slow Oil Traffic

Summary
Two supertankers controlled by the same company appeared to transit the Strait of Hormuz on a US-protected route despite renewed attacks in the region this week.
Bloomberg ship-tracking data showed the Nissos Kea inside the Persian Gulf hours after its AIS signal went dark near the waterway, while the Nissos Heraclea made the reverse passage.
The crossings suggest some vessels are still using the Omani route even as conflict has slowed oil traffic through one of the world's most critical shipping chokepoints.
