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

Shipping firms are avoiding a U.S.-guided passage through the Strait of Hormuz after recent Iranian attacks on ships raised serious crew-safety concerns.
The U.S. had been quietly guiding tankers and arranging ship-to-ship oil transfers to keep Gulf energy flowing, but attacks along an Omani-side route have made that workaround risky.
Tensions are escalating — the U.S. reimposed a blockade, risk ratings for the strait were raised, and Iran warned of further disruptions, leaving some tankers stuck and routes uncertain.
