Iranian super tanker slips past US blockade with $220 million oil cargo

An Iranian supertanker has evaded the US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, carrying a cargo of nearly 220 million dollars worth of crude oil to the Asia-Pacific region. While the US claims the blockade is successful and has significantly harmed Iran's economy, Iran reports at least 52 ships have bypassed the restrictions. The Strait of Hormuz remains a critical global chokepoint, and the US is intensifying sanctions on shipping companies.
