An Iranian supertanker under US sanctions has crossed the Strait of Hormuz and entered the Persian Gulf, according to reports on Wednesday. This marks the second such incident during the ongoing US blockade of the strait and Iranian ports. Maritime intelligence from LSEG and Kpler identified the vessel as the Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) ‘RHN,’ which entered the Gulf empty. The ship, capable of carrying two million barrels of oil, has an unclear destination.
Iran’s Fars News Agency reported that the sanctioned tanker crossed the strait despite the blockade and was heading toward Iran’s Imam Khomeini port. The movement occurred while the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) claimed that ten ships had been turned back and that no vessel had breached the blockade since it began on Monday.
The incident highlights ongoing tensions surrounding maritime navigation and sanctions enforcement in the Persian Gulf region, with conflicting reports from Iranian and US sources about the effectiveness of the blockade.
