An Iranian-flagged cargo vessel named 'Shuja 2' is reportedly crossing the Strait of Hormuz, disregarding a US blockade, according to Iran’s semi-official Tasnim News Agency. The ship departed from Shahid Rajaee Port near Bandar Abbas and is currently en route to India’s Kandla Port.

Al Jazeera reported that it could not independently verify Tasnim’s claim. However, maritime tracking service Marine Traffic indicated that the vessel is presently located within the Strait of Hormuz, with its destination listed as India. The report did not mention any response from US authorities or other stakeholders.

The incident comes amid ongoing tensions involving maritime routes in the Gulf region. The report did not specify whether the ship faced any direct obstruction or inspection during its passage.
