can all vessels across american blockade except iranian ships?
52 Ships Bypass US Naval Blockade in 72 Hours
Satellite data showed that 52 vessels are moving freely within the waters of the region where the United States has declared a blockade on Iran.
According to the data, these vessels included 31 oil tankers and 21 cargo ships.Moreover, 30 vessels have passed through the Strait of Hormuz, including 6 oil tankers and 5 Iranian cargo ships.
The US announced a naval blockade on Iran in mid-April after failing to reach its military objectives in a joint war with Israel against the country that started in late February.Tehran considers it illegal under international law and a clear violation of the ceasefire between Tehran and Washington which was agreed following the 40-day US-Israeli onslaught against Iran.The companies monitoring oil shipments have since confirmed a breach of the US-declared naval blockade.The move came in response to Iran’s effective imposition of restrictions on transit via the Strait of Hormuz, a key waterway in the Persian Gulf which is responsible for a fifth of global oil demand.
