Following reports of no ships departing Iranian reports, at least 2 ships that departed from Iranian ports transited the Strait of Hormuz, despite the U.S. blockade in the area.

The report is based on data from Kpler, which tracks oil data in real time and analyzes vessel movement and commodity flows.

One of the ships, sailing under a Liberian flag, crossed the strait after unloading corn at Iran’s Bandar Imam Khomeini port.

The second vessel, which also transited the strait, was sailing under a Comoros flag.
