Reports: Iranian gas tanker evaded US naval blockade
Various sources identified with Iranian media outlets, including خبرفوری ࡆ اخبارفوری مذاکره ࡆ جنگ فوری, کانال اخبار سپاه پاسداران 🏴, and آخرین خبر, report that the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) tanker known as 'XAVIA' managed to depart without interference from an area defined by them as a "US Navy blockade."
According to the reports, which rely on TankerTrackers data, the tanker was spotted about three weeks ago while loading cargo at the port of Asaluyeh in Iran. The data shows that two days ago, the ship, which carries the international identification number 9052331, was detected in the AIS system near the coast of Sohar, Oman.
آخرین خبر خوزستان noted that this is a sanctioned tanker, and emphasized that the passage was carried out "without any problem." It should be emphasized that the reporting channels, most of which are identified with the positions of the security establishment in Iran, tend to highlight Iran's successes in bypassing international sanctions and dealing with the US naval presence in the Gulf.
As of this time, no official confirmation has been received from American or international sources regarding the claims of a blockade breach or the passage of the ship in question.
