Two Supertankers U-Turn in Hormuz as US-Iran Talks Break Down

What Happened

Two supertankers, Agios Fanourios I and Shalamar, turned back near Iran's Larak island on Sunday while attempting to enter the Persian Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz. The reversal coincided with failed US-Iran peace negotiations in Islamabad. A third vessel, Mombasa B, successfully passed through. The strait remains strategically critical for global energy supplies following recent US-Israel strikes on Iran.
