Iran-linked tankers breach US blockade

The US naval blockade of Iran is facing significant breaches, with at least 34 Iran-linked tankers and gas carriers having slipped past it according to Bloomberg, citing data from analytics firm Vortexa. The Daily Mail now reports that Iranian 'ghost ships' have successfully bypassed the US Navy, suggesting the blockade's effectiveness is being challenged. These developments come as President Trump has given Iran a deadline to return to talks and has asked his staff for military options.
