Ash Oro @ashoro.co.uk · 28/08/20262/12 The claim appears to concern the 1968 IMO-adopted TSS, not the whole Strait. That matters. Clearing a known lane is different from proving that every approach, adjacent area and drifting-mine risk has been removed. 1120
Ash Oro @ashoro.co.uk · 28/08/20263/12 A quick clarifier here: I am not a US Admiral, and I am not in the Gulf. I cannot independently verify whether the lanes are clear. I am, however, a mariner and a teacher of mariners. So I can assess the announcement using the information the shipping industry actually has, today. 1130
Ash Oro @ashoro.co.uk · 28/08/20264/12 First - The Master of a vessel. They need more than a video statement. Has a NAVAREA warning been issued? Have charts and sailing directions been updated? Has the cleared boundary been published? Have flag states or maritime authorities independently accepted these boundaries? 1131
