An Iranian oil tanker has passed through the maritime blockade established by the United States against the Islamic republic, Iranian state radio and television reported. According to its information, the Iranian vessel has already entered the Gulf of Oman. The US claimed the attack was in retaliation for a strike on a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran responded by targeting US facilities across the Middle East, including in Bahrain, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Jordan. On July 14, the United States renewed its naval blockade of Iran.
