US warship tracks Iranian tanker in Hormuz

The U.S.-sanctioned tanker Rich Starry has turned back toward the Strait of Hormuz after failing to break through the U.S. naval blockade on vessels calling at Iranian ports. The vessel had exited the Gulf the day before, according to shipping data, but was unable to complete its transit. This incident highlights the ongoing enforcement of the blockade, which U.S. Central Command claims has halted all of Iran's economic trade by sea.
