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 the Financial Times, citing data from an online tracker. Some of the vessels were carrying crude oil. Meanwhile, Iran is threatening to close the strategically important Bab el-Mandeb Strait, located near territories in Yemen controlled by Iran-allied Houthis, in response to the continued blockade.
