The Iranian news agency FARS claimed that an Iranian tanker named VLCC, which was on the U.S. sanctions list, managed to enter the Strait of Hormuz. "It entered Iranian waters without any concealment and with its navigation system active, and crossed the open sea and the Strait of Hormuz. The tanker is capable of carrying 2 million barrels of crude oil. The U.S. claimed it would not allow any ship to move toward the Iranian coastline and anchor in Iranian waters and ports," it was reported.
