The Iranian-flagged crude oil tanker Atlantis II is steaming through the Strait of Hormuz, passing by the detained vessels Epaminodes and MSC Francesca, on a course toward the US naval blockade at the entrance to the Arabian Sea. This transit represents a direct challenge to the US blockade, which has been the focal point of escalating tensions and repeated breaches in recent weeks. The vessel's movement is being tracked in real-time as it approaches the contested maritime zone.
