    • The Rumor: Online speculation and viral posts claimed that U.S. forces secretly dredged a new, deep-water shipping corridor near Oman’s Musandam Peninsula to bypass Iranian-controlled waters. [1]
    • The Reality: Maritime and hydrographic experts noted that the natural passage in question already possesses substantial depth without needing extensive excavation. [1]
    • The Official Operation: U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) and naval updates confirm that military divers, aircraft, and underwater systems were deployed to clear Iranian sea mines from the existing, internationally recognized shipping lanes rather than carve a new channel. [1, 2]
