Iran’s semi-official Tasnim News Agency reports that an Iranian-flagged cargo ship, the Shoja 2, is currently transiting the Strait of Hormuz despite the US-announced blockade, according to Al Jazeera.
The vessel departed from the Shahid Rajaee Port near Bandar Abbas and is continuing its route towards the Port of Kandla in India, according to the report.
Al Jazeera could not independently verify the claim, but marine tracking data from MarineTraffic, a maritime analytics provider, shows the ship currently navigating in the strait. According to MarineTraffic, the Shoja 2 is bound for India.
