Wall Street Journal Corrects Report on Operation Prosperity Guardian Restart

The Wall Street Journal corrected an earlier report that the United States had resumed Operation Prosperity Guardian, with a U.S. Central Command spokesperson stating that reports of a restart were inaccurate. The clarification followed the transit of a Greek supertanker carrying 2 million barrels of crude oil through waters off Oman and came after earlier accounts had described the U.S. Navy as resuming assistance or escort operations in the Strait of Hormuz, including guidance for additional vessels. The episode underscores the sensitivity of security-related reporting around this key energy corridor, where perceived changes in maritime operations can influence oil shipping expectations, broader market tensions, and cross-asset sentiment.
