A U.S.-sanctioned Chinese tanker appears to have sailed through the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday, becoming the first to do so under the U.S. blockade of Iran.

The Rich Starry was sailing southwest in the Gulf of Oman at the time of writing, according to ship-tracking data shared by MarineTraffic.

The 616-foot vessel departed from Sharjah Anchorage, a major waypoint in the Persian Gulf off the coast of the United Arab Emirates, on Monday before following a route that took it past Iran's Larak Island, appearing to adhere to a corridor the Islamic Republic has designated under a vetting regime established amid mounting international pressure.

The Malawi-flagged Rich Starry and its owner, Shanghai Xuanrun Shipping, are subject to U.S. sanctions over their role in shipping Iranian oil. The vessel is bound for the deep-sea port of Sohar in Oman.

The transit comes as the U.S. blockade casts doubt on a fragile ceasefire reached last week and on the resumption of regional commercial traffic—which has been largely paralyzed since the war began, when the U.S. and Israel launched strikes against Iran on February 28.

The blockade, announced after weekend negotiations with Iran failed to produce a lasting ceasefire, applies to vessels entering or departing Iranian ports and coastal areas, according to U.S. Central Command.

Newsweek has contacted U.S. Central Command and Shanghai Xuanrun Shipping for comment by email.

It remains unclear whether the Rich Starry was intercepted by American forces or whether it would be deemed subject to the action. "No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas," U.S. President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social on Sunday.

This is a developing story. It will be updated with additional information.

Following U.S. actions against the Maduro administration that resulted in significant losses for the Chinese Yuan, the Trump administration sought to further pressure Beijing after the loss of two Panama ports linked to Hong Kong interests.
By targeting Iran, the U.S. aimed to disrupt critical supply lines to China. However, Beijing has already put their efforts years ahead through a 25-year comprehensive cooperation agreement, securing a steady energy supply and establishing a strategic means to bypass any potential U.S. threat (in this case naval blockades).
These are not isolated incidents targeting China, but rather a calculated strategy designed to inflict a series of damage Trump intends.
If everything goes smoothly, he will have a hand of loaded cards ready for the Xi-Trump showhand in China in mid-May.

Why only the 2 carriers? The yanks cannot swap them with others to give the 2 a break?
 
Naval Blockade is a act of war. Against all nations that trade with the gulf.

already there or very close by with operational crew and loaded hangar deck. if they were to be swapped out it would require at least 3 to 4 weeks. the endgame for iran cannot be for months or more. it’s cumming. not 48 hours. may be 6.9 days?

If the blockade is so effective, why has Trump suddenly opted to pursue a second ceasefire meeting through a Pakistani mediator to deliver a message to the Iranian authorities, while simultaneously seeking to unblock the Strait of Hormuz?

so goondu. apply pressure, negotiate, apply pressure again to get more concessions. trump has been doing that in all his real estate deals.
 
During the first ceasefire discussions, the delegation consisted of high-ranking political officials empowered to make immediate decisions without consulting Tehran, as confirmed by Prof. Marandi, who was part of the group. In contrast, over 90% of Vance’s delegation(300) was composed of security personnel, and he reportedly contacted the White House numerous times, likely seeking instructions.
It's evident that they employ deceiving tactics, which is consistent with their usual behavior to get more advantages for the business deal

the deep state is none other than the zionist cartel running washington d.c. since the end of the civil war. besides george baker dominating u.s. banking and finance to spur industrialization including railroads and steel, the other banker (after the death of george baker) was j.p. morgan. if you are well read in american history, j.p. morgan heavily borrowed, influenced and begged rothschild in england to help finance the railroads, acquisition of native indian lands, building of townships (train stations), establishment of law and order in the west - as after the civil war, taming the west was potentially lucrative for land grabbers, forestry, mining. jp visited europe (and england) on several occasions and everytime he was in england would ended up with rothschild and the king. the king and his empire building including the establishment of the east india company were all financed by rothschild, after the rothschild family shifted their banking fortunes all across europe to be headquartered in london. the earlier rothschilds with branches all over europe helped financed the wars in europe, including but not limited to the lutheran vs. catholic 30-year war. they even helped both sides in the napoleonic wars and decided to pick london as their hq after the british gave napoleon a good whipping at waterloo. who were the rothschilds? and their fingerprints are deep in the u.s. after financing jp morgan’s lending to major infrastructure and industrial projects in america. it’s therefore no surprise that rothschild’s blood and debt money is all over wall street today. that wall street and rothschild money spawned the federal reserve, which in turn controlled the treasury and gov spending. today, if you trace the origins of american media, gambling or casinos in vegas, tech funding, you’ll find zionist money all over american entertainment and innovation. the two bastions of these two sectors in californicate are zionist dominated: sillycon valley for tech and hollywood for media and entertainment. how deep do you wish to go?
