Iran’s state media reported on Wednesday that a bulk carrier carrying food supplies and an Iranian crude oil tanker had entered Iranian waters after passing through the Strait of Hormuz, shortly after a senior U.S. military commander declared that a blockade of Iranian ports was now "fully implemented."

The Zangilan tanker, built at Baku Shipyard for Azerbaijan Caspian Shipping Company CJSC (ASCO) and commissioned on July 2 in the presence of President Ilham Aliyev, has successfully completed its first voyage to Alaja port in Turkmenistan, News.Az reports citing ASCO.
