Ash Oro @ashoro.co.uk · 24/08/20261/20 I have been gathering information across the Gulf regions since Friday, but held it over so I could set out the whole picture this morning. The short version is that this is no longer one #TheHormuzCrisis. #IranUSAWar #Trump #Geopolitics 23518
Ash Oro @ashoro.co.uk · 24/08/20262/20 Iranian control, US blockade enforcement, Houthi attacks and revived Somali piracy are becoming connected parts of the same maritime problem. This is all due to the degradation of the usual systems of operation, military and commercial, that kept traffic flowing in the region. 1102
Ash Oro @ashoro.co.uk · 24/08/20263/20 Hormuz first. The complete Oman–Iran agreement is still not public. There is no operational annex, chart, coordinates, mine-clearance certificate, navigational warning or IMO-adopted replacement route. 1101
