The US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz came into effect at 10:00 pm Hong Kong time on Monday (13th). A US destroyer intercepted two oil tankers attempting to leave Iran and ordered them to turn back, Reuters, citing US officials, reported. The two tankers had departed from Chabahar Port in the Gulf of Oman, and the destroyer contacted the vessels via radio. It was purportedly unclear whether further warnings were issued. Separately, on the first full day of the blockade’s implementation (Tuesday, 14th), the impact on vessel traffic through the Strait was limited, Reuters reported, citing shipping data. At least eight vessels, including three Iran-linked oil tankers, navigated through the waters. Auto-translated by AI AASTOCKS Financial News |
