Svmuu reported that the Wall Street Journal previously reported that a Greek supertanker carrying 2 million barrels of crude oil was guided by the U.S. Navy through a waterway off the coast of Oman. This escort operation was described as a new phase of "Operation Freedom."
Subsequently, the outlet corrected its earlier report, stating that a spokesperson for U.S. Central Command said the United States has not resumed "Operation Freedom," and that reports of the initiative being relaunched were inaccurate. The outlet also noted that an earlier version of its report incorrectly characterized this coordination between the U.S. and the commercial vessel as a new phase of "Operation Freedom." (Jinshi)
