Iran blocks Qatari tankers from Strait of Hormuz despite US deal meant to allow them through – source

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards stopped two Qatari liquefied natural gas tankers headed toward the Strait of Hormuz earlier on Monday before transit and ordered them to hold position without explanation, a source tells Reuters.

The tankers had been listed among those Iran would allow transit, under an Iran-US agreement reached last week via Pakistan, says the source, who has been briefed on the agreement.
