Analyst Comments: Following the halt to Project Freedom, the situation remains much the same in the Middle East. Nearly all ships in the region are either turning their transponders off, or their position is being concealed via Jamming/Spoofing. As a result, it's challenging to determine if a ship is successful in sneaking out, until it miraculously appears on AIS tracking maps in the Indian Ocean after a few days. One absolutely critical factor, which is nearly impossible to get fidelity on without an in-person observer on the ground, is which route is being taken by the handful ships that are escaping the Gulf. So far, several Chinese ships have also made it through the Strait...through the Iranian route. Concerning American ships, no western-aligned vessels appear to have tried the crossing after the handful of vessels were struck on Monday.
