At least two ships using Iranian ports passed through the Strait of Hormuz yesterday despite a US military blockade, data from maritime tracking firm Kpler indicates.
The Liberia-flagged bulk carrier Christianna transited the strategic strait after unloading corn at the Iranian port of Bandar Imam Khomeini, passing Iran’s Larak Island around 1600 GMT on Monday, Kpler says. Washington’s blockade came into effect two hours earlier.
A second ship, the Comoros-flagged tanker Elpis, was near Larak Island around 1100 GMT and cleared the strait about 1600 GMT, the data shows.
