U.S. Navy Escorts Greek Oil Tanker Through Oman Waters

A Greek supertanker carrying 2 million barrels of crude oil was escorted by the U.S. Navy through waters off the coast of Oman, according to a previous report by The Wall Street Journal. This escort operation was initially described as part of a new phase of the 'Freedom Plan.' According to Odaily, the media outlet later corrected its report, citing a spokesperson from the U.S. Central Command who clarified that the 'Freedom Plan' has not been reinstated. The earlier report suggesting the plan's relaunch was inaccurate. The media also noted that its previous version incorrectly stated that the coordination with the merchant vessel was a new phase of the 'Freedom Plan.'
