Map tracks Iranian ships crossing blockade
Iranian ships have publicly crossed the American naval blockade area in the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea, with seven vessels involved, including oil tankers carrying over 5.1 million barrels, on June 17, 2026. The movement of the ships was divided between Iranian ports heading towards the Indian Ocean and returning from the ocean to the Gulf of Oman, without turning off their automatic identification signals, reflecting an unprecedented escalation since the American blockade began in April. This comes amidst reports that Washington is considering lifting the blockade following understandings reached with Tehran. Satellite images also detected the presence of three American ships positioned within a military deployment in the Arabian Sea, and traffic through the Strait of Hormuz continued to be monitored. This development coincides with Iran announcing the start of lifting the blockade, despite the Iranian ships crossing openly and publicly.
