๐บ๐ธ๐คก The U.S. Navy has released official guidance for commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz under "Project Freedom":
"Try to sail close to the coast of Oman and see if it works." ๐คฃ
USNAVCENT advises vessels to route via Omani territorial waters south of the Traffic Separation Scheme due to "anticipated traffic volume" and coordination with Oman authorities via VHF channel 16 for safety of navigation.
Transit via or in close proximity to the Traffic Separation Scheme is considered "extremely hazardous due to the presence of mines that have not been fully surveyed and mitigated."
Translation: The U.S. Navy doesn't control the Strait of Hormuz anymore. Iran has mined the northern lanes. The southern route near Oman is a gamble. Commercial shipping is being told to hug the Omani coast and hope for the best.
This is what "freedom of navigation" looks like when you've lost control of the chokepoint.

๐ค ๐จ๐ณ ๐ฎโโ๏ธ China deploys countryโs first robot police squad
A robot police squad has officially begun duty in China.
15 traffic police robots were deployed in Hangzhou to manage crowds during the May Day travel rush.
The robots use voice recognition and AI to detect traffic violations, direct crowds, and provide navigation for tourists.
After successful trials at marathons, the squad has moved from experimental use to full-scale coordination with human officers.

Events in Hormuz make clear that there's no military solution to a political crisis.
As talks are making progress with Pakistan's gracious effort, the U.S. should be wary of being dragged back into quagmire by ill-wishers. So should the UAE.
Project Freedom is Project Deadlock.
