Iranian ships crossing Hormuz despite US blockade

Two ships from the Islamic Republic of Iran are crossing the Strait of Hormuz. So far, they are not blocked from their activities by the US naval blockade of Iran. Recent ship tracking data (MarineTraffic, Kpler, BBC Verify) confirms at least four Iran-linked vessels crossed the Strait of Hormuz today.

Two that departed Iranian ports reportedly are Bandar Imam Khomeini and Bushehr. They defied the new US naval blockade of Iranian ports. Multiple outlets report this as ongoing traffic amid the blockade.
