Security firm warns ships off Hormuz

The Neptune P2P Group, a maritime security firm, is advising ships not to enter the Strait of Hormuz despite Iran's public claims that the waterway is open. The firm reports that vessels are being held on specific routes and warns of potential risks outside those designated corridors, including the threat of naval mines. This advisory highlights the ongoing discrepancy between official statements and the perceived operational risks for commercial shipping in the strategic chokepoint.
