What Happened
At least two US-sanctioned Iran-linked vessels transited the Strait of Hormuz into the Persian Gulf on Thursday via a new route from the United Arab Emirates. The ships, G Summer and Hong Lu, passed between Iran's Larak and Qeshm islands. Traffic has slowed significantly since the US blockade began, with only eleven vessels crossing Tuesday compared to 135 daily pre-war averages. No laden Iranian oil tankers reportedly exited through Hormuz.
