> Iraqi Crude Tanker Transits Strait of Hormuz with Iranian Authorization

(May 11) – An Iraqi crude oil tanker has been sighted in the Gulf of Oman after successfully transiting the Strait of Hormuz, reportedly following clearance from Iranian authorities.

The tanker, identified as the AGOIS FANOURIOS I, began transmitting signals in the Sea of Oman after previously disabling its Automatic Identification System (AIS) upon entering the Strait of Hormuz yesterday. The vessel is currently en route to the Nghi Son port in Vietnam.

This transit follows a similar occurrence yesterday, where a Qatari tanker destined for Pakistan was also granted permission by Iran to pass through the strategic waterway.
