Two oil tankers are trying to pass through the Strait of Hormuz to exit the Persian Gulf and are currently sailing near the Iranian coast, Bloomberg reported. They are the first vessels attempting to transit the strait since the US announced a blockade.

According to vessel-tracking data, a tanker by the name of The New Future, which has no clear links to Iran, and Auroura, a tanker sanctioned by the US, began sailing northeast from waters near the UAE on Monday (13th). The two medium-range tankers appear to be following a route south of Iran's Larak Island. Iranian authorities recently stated that vessels attempting to sail eastward should follow this channel.
