The "architecture of control" mentioned here is being stress-tested in ways a static map can’t capture. The rerouting of vessels into the "safe corridor" north of Larak Island has turned that narrow passage into one of the highest-signal zones for maritime telemetry in the world right now.

I've been tracking the sub-second shifts in operational status at these hubs (like the recent desalination plant impacts on Qeshm) over at https://xreport.news/. We're trying to surface the technical data points that explain why these islands are the center of the current escalatory cycle, stripping away the rhetoric to find the ground truth.
