On April 25, the 142‑meter superyacht Nord, belonging to sanctioned Russian oligarch Alexei Mordashov, successfully navigated the Strait of Hormuz despite the ongoing U.S. naval blockade and mine threats. The vessel continued its voyage toward Oman, highlighting the limited impact of the blockade on certain privileged ships. The transit underscores the challenges of enforcing maritime restrictions in a heavily trafficked waterway. The incident draws attention to the disparity between commercial shipping constraints and the movement of high‑profile private assets.
