Second US-sanctioned tanker enters Persian Gulf despite blockade - Reuters

A second US-sanctioned supertanker entered the Persian Gulf via the Strait of Hormuz despite a US-imposed blockade on vessels linked to Iranian ports, shipping data showed, according to Reuters, raising questions over enforcement as Washington says no ships have breached the restrictions.

Shipping data cited by Reuters showed the tanker RHN entered the Persian Gulf on Wednesday, a day after another sanctioned vessel, Alicia, transited the strait. Both tankers have previously carried Iranian oil, according to tracking data, though their current destinations were not immediately clear.
