US-Sanctioned Tanker Linked To China Tests Trump Blockade

Bloomberg — Apr 14, 19:56 PM

A US-sanctioned tanker linked to China sailed out of the Strait of Hormuz and into the Gulf of Oman, testing President Donald Trump’s naval blockade.
Rich Starry, a medium-range tanker earlier known as Full Star, was blacklisted by Washington in 2023 for helping Tehran evade energy sanctions.

It is not clear on this occasion whether it visited Iranian ports before its transit, or is carrying cargo.

Bloomberg's Adam Farrar joins to discuss. (Source: Bloomberg)
