Sanctioned Iranian Tanker Defies U.S. Blockade in Strait of Hormuz
An Iranian shadow fleet tanker named Elpis sailed through the Strait of Hormuz on Monday. The move directly challenged a new U.S. naval blockade aimed at curbing Iranian oil exports. Tracking data confirmed the vessel was carrying crude oil as it passed. Other tankers diverted toward the UAE or anchored near Iran’s coast. Satellite images show a steep drop in traffic through this vital energy corridor, underscoring rising tensions and uncertainty.
