Strait of Hormuz: Iran sends loaded oil tankers past US naval blockade

Three Iranian tankers (Diona, Hero II, and Sonia I) loaded with crude oil have passed the US blockade line in the Gulf of Oman, according to ship-tracking data. Two were broadcasting their locations and a third switched on its tracker just past the line. Despite President Trump's announcement of an immediate removal, US naval forces confirmed the blockade remains until a deal with Iran is signed on Friday in Switzerland. This marks Iran's first oil exports in two months, carrying a combined 3.8 million barrels.
