An Iranian Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) supertanker has successfully transited the US naval blockade and is returning to Iran. The vessel traveled from Iran to the Riau Archipelago in Indonesia before turning back. It is now en route to Kharg Island, Iran's primary oil terminal, and is expected to arrive tomorrow. This successful passage demonstrates a continued ability of some Iranian vessels to evade the blockade.
