Bloomberg reports that an oil tanker laden with crude has left Iran's Chabahar port, passed the U.S. naval blockade line and sailed to its destination. The vessel is the third tanker to depart Iran via the blockade since the announcement of a reported agreement, according to Israeli journalist Asaf Rosencweig (N12), citing Bloomberg.
Bloomberg reports that a crude-laden oil tanker has left Iran's Chabahar port, passed the U.S. naval blockade, and sailed to its destination, Israeli journalist Asaf Rosencweig (N12) relayed Wednesday. The tanker is the third to exit Iran via the blockade since a reported agreement was announced, Rosencweig wrote, citing the Bloomberg report.
As The Zioneer previously reported on Monday, Iranian state-aligned media had claimed vessels were breaching the blockade. Wednesday's report of a third tanker departing suggests additional erosion of the naval cordon, following the first two departures that occurred since the announcement of an understanding between Iran and the United States. The U.S. imposed a naval blockade to enforce sanctions on Iranian oil exports. The identity of the tanker and its precise destination remain unconfirmed in the report.
