Third Iran-linked tanker passes Strait of Hormuz toward UAE’s Hamriyah port
A third Iran-linked tanker has entered the Gulf via the Strait of Hormuz today, according to shipping data.
The Panama-flagged vessel Peace Gulf is currently heading to Hamriyah port in the United Arab Emirates, LSEG data showed, News.Az reports, citing Al Jazeera.

Because the three vessels transiting the strait are not heading to Iranian ports, they are not affected by the US blockade, according to the data.
