US-sanctioned supertankers enter Gulf

A second U.S.-sanctioned supertanker has entered the Persian Gulf via the Strait of Hormuz, according to shipping data. The vessel's transit occurred despite the active U.S. naval blockade on vessels visiting Iranian ports. This development follows earlier reports of sanctioned vessels attempting to navigate the strategic waterway and challenges the U.S. Central Command's recent statements about the blockade's effectiveness. The incident highlights the ongoing complexities of enforcing maritime sanctions in the region.
